A Joke I Just Got

A joke I just got
Heard years ago
Smiled at and nodded
Though not understood

Never forgotten
The punchline becoming
A mantra to be used
Whenever appropriate

Carried and cherished
An old and dear friend
Until out of nowhere
An enlightening flash

A chuckle at first
Then laughing out loud
As much at myself as at
The joke I just got
