How do I make this funny?

Manis-depression- another slice of dysfunction from the mind of M. DeWayne Benson, semi-humorous…
So, how do I make this funny?

Yesterday I was robbed,
Not like Wednesday when someone stole my camera
I was robbed of my better side
My Manic – Depressive side is
now on Depressive-Manic Side
People don’t understand that every person with
Bipolar Affective Disorder or BAD as I prefer to call myself
(no negative connotation- just works great in stand-up comedy).
So yesterday was a beautiful day in Palm Springs,
Not yet hitting the 90 degree mark.
There was this haze hanging over the mountains
Just like the haze in my head.
My depression is ever present, to varying degrees
But it robs me of all the things I should appreciate
Robs me of satisfaction, participation, enjoyment and days upon months
Of a lifetime that has many things to depressed about-
But it’s not the dysfunction and dysfunctionals in my life
It’s depression to just be depressed
Most of my life’s issues I have already dealt with
From use, abuse, love, life and death I am fine with it all
But this part of my cycle when it’s all depression
Little or no manic, balance or care
It’s tough being robbed of the satisfaction I should have over all I have accomplished, over-come and survived through
Robbed of the joy from applause, of all the simple things I usually enjoy
Robbed –
I can’t wait till I’m back on the Manic- Depressive Edge or side (for me)
As long as it doesn’t become manic-manic and I start talking to God.
AGAIN
