Comedy
Humour
By BrianRobertNeal
20 May 2006
I know it's a poem and not a script nor a tale but it's a tribute to the posters on this forum.

Humour is a full life's centring sun,

Round which eccentric planets rotate.

Drawn in by the gravity of fun,
 
Basking in the warmth that it creates.

very succinct Brian. Apart from a couple of pieces I did for a writing workshop I have never really `got into` poetry.Perhaps I should have a go. 
Thanks Woody

I don't write much poetry that's not humorous or spoof/parody. But of my serious pieces this is my favourite. 
 
Thanks for your time and comments. 
 
Brian.

Wow you make it sound really rather wonderful. I thought I was trying to be funny to block out the black dog of depression and incipient pschosis but actually I think I prefer your rationale after all. Well done that man and on behalf of all the aspiring humourists here, thanks. A nice gesture. 
cheers 
BBS
Thanks BBS

For your time and comments. 
 
I must confess that I'm very pleased with this peice, particularly the line 
 
Drawn in by the gravity of fun, 
 
which must contain my subtlest of puns. 
 
Brian.

Yes I was going to comment on that line. I mean you must be serious about comedy or it won't be funny. 
As you say a clever and telling line
Thanks again BBS
