The punchline wasn’t the real punchline
Or at least it wasn’t funny
She wept.
Like most things
It’s what comes after the punchline that matters most
She wept.
For him.
Imagine if I weren't medicated….

This is interesting to me because last night my exchange told me a joke about Kentucky that did not make any sense and, mostly, was just a horrible attempt at making a stereotypical reference to being toothless and inbred. Your poems sums how I felt, minus the crying…
