Lights come up, the mic stands tall. The comedian steps up, scanning the crowd with a grin. A deep breath, then: "Alright, folks, so let's talk about this book I've got here- ahem , my poetry collection. Yeah, yeah, you heard that right- poetry . Before you start backing away slowly, wondering if it's one of those 'soul-searching' books you have to read in a coffee shop while sipping on your overpriced almond milk latte, don't worry-I'm not gonna make you do that.

Lights come up, the mic stands tall. The comedian steps up, scanning the crowd with a grin. A deep breath, then: "Alright, folks, so let's talk about this book I've got here- ahem , my poetry collection. Yeah, yeah, you heard that right- poetry . Before you start backing away slowly, wondering if it's one of those 'soul-searching' books you have to read in a coffee shop while sipping on your overpriced almond milk latte, don't worry-I'm not gonna make you do that. But brace yourselves. This isn't your mom's poetry collection. No, no-it's more like if your mom's poetry collection was dropped in a blender with a couple shots of espresso, a pinch of cynicism, and a dash of let's all laugh at the absurdity of life . So, picture this: you've got a guy who's staring at the world like, 'What in the actual hell is going on?' but instead of crying into a pillow about it, he writes poems. And not just any poems-no, these are the kind of poems that make you think, 'Wait, is he making fun of us? Or... does he actually care?' It's a beautiful, chaotic mess. One minute, you're knee-deep in a critique of bottled water, the next you're sitting in the quiet, peaceful stillness of life's weird little moments. Yeah, it's like being on a roller coaster built by someone who's both totally over it and still weirdly hopeful. I don't know how to explain it. Maybe you have to experience it like a mild existential crisis-just roll with it. And the irony? Oh, it's everywhere. Like, we're all struggling, and here I am, making jokes about it, trying to find meaning in the mess. There's humour in the dark stuff and a weird sense of calm in the chaotic. Like, I might joke about our messed-up world, but at the end of the day- spoiler alert -I'm still rooting for us. We're all fumbling around trying to make sense of it, but hey, maybe, just maybe, we're doing better than we think. So grab a copy, dive into the madness, and let me know if you come out the other side less confused or just more entertained." Pauses for effect, looks at the crowd with a raised eyebrow. "Or, you know, just go read it in a coffee shop. I'm not judging." Mic drop.
