Fool


Here's the punchline

Too soon?

Thought so...

I'll keep it under my hat

deep

in 

my 

sleeve

so they cant tell

what you're thinking

Why'd I bother?

I'm a fool

A laughing stock

a target with an arrow

aimed 

          a bit

                  off center

doesn't matter

the joke is over
