No joke

She was very serious about trying to be funny…

A geometry student from Maine
Made a point and a line and a plane
On her comedy night
Her memory took flight-
What was the punchline again?

Protracting her moment on stage
She tapped on her chin like a sage.
I ought to be funny
And math can be punny
But my audience wants pent up rage.

She channeled her anger and wit
In some corny and outdated bit
In another dimension
She’s such a sensation
But here she has one Google hit.
