Glenda Sampson finds answers in work at home humor

Humor of any sort, let alone work at home humor, was in short supply for Glenda in the late summer of 2002. At twenty-nine years of age, the life dream she'd held close to her heart for years had become a nightmare. He husband had moved out after asking for a divorce.

To add injury to insult, her three children, all under the age of ten, could not be raised properly on a smidgen of child support and the clerical wages from her job as an office receptionist. Something had to be done, but what?

She did have a talent for comedy and had begun doing gigs around her native city, but she could no longer manage even that with no one to watch the kids while she dashed off to perform after dark. What to do?

Out of this predicament, Work At Home Humor, LLC was born.

Copyright 2004 by Glenda Sampson

I was out on my own without a good plan
Dumped by the guy I had thought was my man
Three babies at home who hate when I say
They're my little bunnies but they are anyway

What could I do to make it all right
To be there for them by day and by night
Then came the answer when I saw an ad
A comedian was short on the jokes that he had

He said he would pay five dollars a line
That sounded silly; I'd be broke all the time
But then the light dawned and I knew what to do
I founded my business and it got us through

Work at home humor was soon born to be
A work at home business making quite good money
I got me a list of those comedy types
And emailed each one a hot bit of hype

At first you might wonder just how I got through
I gave away stuff like the drug dealers do
I gave each a clean joke they could have for free
If they'd opt-in for my e-zine by white listing me

Writing jokes at home has been good to us
I wrote the classic 'bout the pig on the bus
You've seen my stuff surface on big TV shows
Those comics don't tell you where they bought their jokes

Hey, that doesn't matter, for I am not vain
Remember that one 'bout the cranky airplane?
Yet one joke I refuse to consider at all
Is anything hateful or stupid or small

You've heard big time comics use stuff that I wrote
Like three cows in a field of alfalfa and oats
Yes, work at home humor has gotten us through
Though the kids still don't know what it is that I do!

Publisher's note: Glenda's humor based home business has allowed her to live life on her own terms. I'm impressed with her success, and so are the dozens of professional comics who subscribe to her joke writing service. She's not joking when she says her children have no clue about her vocation, though.

I know, because they got all excited about their Mom getting her poem published online, here at poetic-humor.com, where they could log on and see it.
