It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes. Thomas Aquinas

Knock, knock Who’s there?

Orange you gonna open the door? Radio not, here I come. Amarillo nice guy. Needle little help getting in. Godiva terrible headache, got any aspirin? Eyesore does love you.

The knock-knock joke is a type of audience-participatory joke cycle, typically ending with a pun. Knock-knock jokes are primarily seen as children’s jokes, though there are exceptions.

The scenario is of a person knocking on the front door to a house. The teller of the joke says, “Knock, knock!”; the recipient responds, “Who’s there?” The teller gives a name (such as “Noah”) or a description (such as “Police”) or something that purports to be a name (such as “Needle”). The other person then responds by asking the caller’s surname (“Noah who?” “Police who?” “Needle who?”), to which the joke-teller delivers a pun involving the name (“Noah place I can spend the night?” “Police let me in — it’s cold out here!” “Needle little help with the groceries!”)….Wikipedia

I read this luscious poem from Imad and it reminded me of the fun in acrostics.

With the results of the United States election, yesterday and today have been a silly season in our household, momentarily removed from the doom, gloom, and worry of the last months.

Here is another lighthearted moment.
