I am a comedian

I am a comedian

and I am not funny

but I can do crowd work

better than most

I'm paying my dues

and I'm earning the money

I tour this whole country

from coast to coast

I am a comedian

my writing is abysmal

but I am good looking

enough to not care

my crowds take Klonopin

and Pepto-Bismol

to put up with

my humor out there

          I can make you laugh

          if your standards are low

          there is no limit

          to how bad I can go

I am a comedian

you should like me

for my charm and my face

and the words I have spoke

I may not be as funny

as you hoped I might be

but I am a comedian

let me tell you a joke
