Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
It hurts,
but only when I laugh,
though even then it comes in spurts,
and makes my insides shrink, not half!
A cure,
I will find one - I must.
No sense in feigning motives pure,
I think my sense of humour’s bust!
