Crack

Here’s to the jokes only to yourselves told.
To laughs that only your humors behold.

A funny phrase with no exposition.
From tongue to head, it worms on a mission.

Say it aloud & it’s never the same.
Just your cognition is fit for its game.

Recalled at most inappropriate times…
In grieving churches or courts’ juried crimes.

Maybe, if lucky, there’s one other wit.
Ones who, like you, the hilarious get.

Most, though, we hoard for the rainiest days.
In midst of the worst…a punchline will play.

Clever, to see & say, “that’s just for me.”
Private, medicinal laughs guaranteed.
