Humors

When I tell jokes
I want roars at the end.
I learn them,
trade them.
Humor has a code.
The biggest laugh
comes when a solemn friend
lets drop a bomb,
amazed we all explode.
I'm healthy and
it's seldom I get ill.
When weak
I get confused,
dismayed
and wilt.
The ailing learn their cure and
flex their will.
But I, when sick,
to call in sick,
face guilt.
I sense your feelings
better than my own.
It's foremost in my nature
to be kind.
To give away my power
I am prone or else
I pay for harshness
in my mind.
Forewarned,
although compassion is my rule
I'm ugly,
shocking, brutal
when I'm cruel.
