Brevity by Dan Thompson for May 27, 2022

His humor definitely petered out…

He has a hook that keeps his audience interested.

Hemmingway pirates

As a comedian, he’s Donne.

It’s not Pan who’s dead… Hook’s dying out there.

He keeps tinkering with his act, but unlike Peter, it gets old,

and that tired stuff will never fly.

Serves him right… he’s a suspected kidnapper, which is way worse than pirating a few jokes.

He knows we keep a watch on him and his ship… it ticks him off, but we don’t want to see any more lost boys.

Still… the years have taken a toll on him…. sounds like making excuses, but it’s not a crock.

When he’s finished, I think it would be ok to finally give him a hand.

His material is not for kids….its RRRRRR rated

He tend to put a macabre giggle in your rigging, but not so much to as not shiver your timbers. Blue silk stockings… a statement.

And pre tell, who does the Clicking Crock click for?

He has so much to get off his chest.

darling gag, but not a smee of humor

So that’s why Peter will never grow up…

Oh Mister Thompson, you have outdone yourself this time! Good Show Mister Thompson!!!!

somehow i don’t think his comedy career is going to pan out…

In days of vaudeville, the cry would have been “Get the Hook” and the standup would be dragged offstage
