Putting Him Away, a Poem by O.L. Buzzerd
I don't get invited over
much anymore
I guess the word got out
I can sometimes be alarming and
I tend to put people off
sometimes my humor is odd
and hard for folks to understand
a lot of times they don't get it
but go along and laugh anyway
because they don't want to offend me
people are polite thataway
they make allowances for
old geezers
who tell dum jokes
they laugh but
all the while they're thinking
how soon can we
put him in a home
they better look out
and remember this
I won't go peacefully
I'll have to be sedated.
-O.L. Buzzerd
( for the time being, still a free man)

Highly readable and laudable in every way. I assume you share that humor you mention, if so I applaud it too. Here we have a true essence of the wilder side of America, highly unlikely in the UK.
