Whenever I go to a local show
I write down dozens of notes
Because, hey, comedy
And they're almost all garbage
Because they're specific things that happen there
And they can't be generalized to a point
Where an audience will get them
The things that have been said about the local scene
Have all been said to death
Things were better before
It's all [redacted] music now
Everyone's jerks and phonies
I don't write those things down
I write down things that I hear people say
And it's really funny at the time
"But I guess you had to be there" jokes
Are just the worst jokes
But at least it gives me something to do!
I'm entertaining myself!
