a pie in the face

to each

his own cup of tea

when it comes to humor.

some

like it sly and clever, subdued,

with a smart turn

of phrase,

while others

prefer the prat fall,

the pie in the face,

the clown

with big shoes,

the splash of a pail

of water.

either will bring a smile

to the face,

but one

will wear out sooner

than the other.
