Sat through a comedy
It's all such a fucking comedy
But at least they're trying to be funny
Sending themselves up on stage
Playing the fool,
It's a reason to live after all
But they weren't that funny
Even the werewolf compere
Who wasn't meant to be funny
As a foil
That somehow elevates the comedians
Above the level of the ordinary
By contrast
Even her
With her assassin's face
She looked like a Rebecca
As unreachably attractive
As any I've known
Those who know their own looks
But perhaps
That's all they have
What a low down dirty mood I'm in
The coming storm
The waiting for it
And now it's here, wet and depressing
As if it will never end
How am I meant to make light of
Weather that wants to turn you
Into a slug?
I respect them these comedians
I don't find them that funny
But I respect them
