Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 My Show Goes On

Dia de los Muertos is

When relatives remember me,

A stand up comic in show biz,

Dead lots on stage, figuratively,

So many times telling bad jokes,

But always could count on support

In the audience of kinfolks,

Deemed me bad comic, but good sport.

So on this day, relatives dig

Me up, let my skeleton stand,

As though performing my own gig,

For which they give me a big hand.

So on each Day of the Dead, I

Do stand up comedy and die.
