Merely A Comedic Test
by Michael Doyle

A comedy writer laughs and reads
A lot of energetic devotion
These days are filled with emotion lotion
It's the tale of perpetual motion that reads.

Like a tale of running down a road of screams,
Played out in a plethora of iconic cartoon screens.
Each step leads to the next step of an endless show,
Until it reaches the end of the television's glow.

There is a comic abstraction beginning at page one,
And after the laughs are over, it's finally done.
That's not much of a formula for life to rely on.
But, it is how comedic TV mostly goes on and on.

Stealing from black and white is an homage to glory.
If it's in color, it's the theft of a copyrighted story.
In the modern world, ideas are over before they begin.
It takes agility to be on the side that wins. 

It's like walking into a room filled with smart guys,
Too much commenting is probably more than unwise.
It seems to me that even comedy is an ongoing process,
And that thing called life is mainly nothing more than a test.
