the reasons for not being funny

when i think about the reasons for being funny
at three in the morning, i know that i will regret it
if only for the lack of sleep because it is the middle
of the week and i have to go to work in three hours.
but a glass of water and a piece of flatbread will do
wonders. so i chew my heavily premature breakfast
and wonder why am i not being funny any more
and when did it happen? i should have asked this before
she left.
