The men who think they can act, and try—
These are the things that make me laugh.
The hard-boiled poses in photograph,
The groom still wearing his wedding tie—
And I’ve missed of too many jokes by half!
These are the bubbles I gayly quaff
With the rank conceit of the new-born fly—
These are the things that make me laugh!
For, Heaven help me! I needs must chaff,
And people will tickle me till I die—
