| Describe your sense of humor. Is it dark, sarcastic, slapstick, silly, or something else? Do you have any favorite comedians? What always makes you laugh? I'll answer this seriously, as myself. N.o.t.h.i.n.g always makes me laugh. Chuckle? Guffaw? For sure, but I've been to MFA readings where everyone just giggles at every inside joke. And I'm left wondering ... why? I also detest most 'funny' Hollywood movies. I prefer deep to shallow, real bittersweet to ha-ha-ha lies. I'm not fond of anything that portrays an America that only existed in someone's warped Pollyanna imagination; less so when it demeans people for laughs. No, I do not have the humor of a 12 year old boy. Even at that age I was serious. Maybe that's why I don't understand those who insist on saying, "America, Love it or Leave it." Maybe they believed those lies ... that everything was a joke that could be fixed by coming home to dinner on time to join mommy and daddy and sis. And all those cliche endings that were wrapped up neat and happy was how it was supposed to happen in "Real America." As if ... reality didn't exist. As if ... anything that couldn't be laughed at shouldn't exist. I didn't like American Horror (let's be afraid of our own shadows) either or Let's Kill Everyone (let's be afraid of everyone else). Foreigners wonder about our paranoia and racist xenophobia? Look no further. And all of this was served with a side dish of laughter. So yes, I laugh, but not evey day over every little thing. I do watch some comedies ... like "Young Sheldon" if it's available when I fly. But a 1970's laughtrack?  Mostly, I'm naturally silly, but that's just the way I am on a good day. The only thing humourous I wrote recently: From Missoula with Love When once an old man from Missoula bought tickets for Hilo to hula along came an illness that threatened to kill us and now he's stuck home with his moolah. He shuffles alone in his slippers, drinks cold coffee black for his jitters; he dreams of a Kona and cries out, Ramona! if only to hula and kiss her. Ramona grinds wheat by the kilo then stretches and butters the phyllo with stiletto at hand twirls her gold wedding band and longs for her lover in Hilo. © Kåre Enga [177.94] (15.Iune.2020) "From Missoula with Love (15 lines)"  . It received an Honorable Mention in June's Humorous Poetry Contest. It's as funny as I get. for:
