These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Humor Is Mystifying

To make a joke, and make it's good,
is really quite a gift.
To nourish others with this food
I hope their hearts to lift.

But how to make this humor speak
to most, who read the joke
is really not an easy seek,
avoiding hurtful pokes.

To make quite well a funny thing
is challenging at best.
The concepts must of humor sing
to make all be so blest.
