A short Zuihitsu

There are often comic musings but very few consider them poems
    Laughter is the best medicine
	Poets are often sick
Yet very few comedians who rhyme
     Did you hear the one about the -
   No.
      You have to let me finish
            No, I don’t and stop calling me Finnish.

Why is that?
	Why is what?
  No, what is what, why is because
Philosophy
   The musings of failed poets who couldn’t rhyme

Maybe they should have been comedians.

This is for a dVerse prompt: … I hope you will at least look at this new-to-me form called the zuihitsu. …

Zuihitsu is not a new form. According to the Poetry Foundation’s glossary:

It is “a Japanese hybrid form that can be traced back to Sei Shōnagon’s 10th-century text, The Pillow Book, zuihitsu is often translated from the Japanese as “following the brush.” This capacious genre incorporates nonfiction, musings and confessions, poetry, and miscellany to create a spontaneous, layered text.”

I found writing the form a little chaotic, as in a bit of a controlled stream of conscious type. I hope you enjoy! 😁
