Judge for yourself.
Fun?

Mucking around, having a laugh
Just jumped face first into a bath.
Everyone else seems to be down in the dumps,
Maybe they just contracted the mumps?
I run into a room and giggle and joke,
But receive blank faces, not even partial to the odd poke.
Thinking there must be some way to lighten the mood,
I create an amusing shape with some kind of food.
No, still no reaction of joy,
Time to come up with some other ploy.
One more attempt at lighthearted fun,
In return, shot with a metaphorical gun.
Time to approach the situation in a slightly different manner,
I run into the room and beat the sad bastards to death with a spanner.
