If I Transcribed My Entire Thought Process While Writing Jokes Instead Of Just The Finished Product

There once was a suburban dad

Who was a most serious lad.

He never told jokes

To his kids or his folks

And because of that they all were sad.

I like bones.

Get it? ‘Cause he’s a dog?

Laugh, or I’ll read you the limerick again…
