Appreciation

Of all the stories that l read,
Or somehow, hear about,
There are few, with jealous greed,
That always | hold out.
They are the ones that l relate,
Quite sure I'll get laugh;
Their origin may not be late
They're not as good by half
AS some / hear each little while,
And yet, before they're done,
You ought to see the happy smile
They force upon my son.
He doesn't care how dull the tale,
Nor more, how weak the point;
He'll laugh at each however stale,
Till nearly out of joint.
When other people hear my tales,
They don't enjoy them so;
Their laughter doesn't come in gales,
They heard them years ago.
My sons the only one they please,
He laughs to beat the band,
Twists his toes and bends his knees,
But he can't understand.
And so save up funny things,
Folks underestimate 'em,
To watch the smile one always brings,
For he'll appreciate 'em.
