Funny - Bone

Within the length of man,
There are some places shown.
Where he...in all his foolery,
Has an inside...funny-bone.

He makes a joke of talk,
As light as any feather.
His words are jostled all around,
And put together.

In such a way,
That telling is but half.
And the way he brings them out,
Brings on a hearty laugh.

Only a few like him...are cut,
And shown in packaged kits.
When they pull the draw-string of themselves,
To show their wits.

For great is the person,
Displaying a rare-set style.
Who can use words in a way,
That makes men smile.
