A Cheerful Rhyme

Giggle, chortle, chuckle, laugh, Snicker and guffaw; Titter, be in stitches, snort As if you broke the law. Cackle, beam and grin so wide Your cheeks will start to hurt. Set your face aglow like when You eat the best dessert. Keep the real world from your thoughts And let your mind employ Whatever tactics it may have To conjure up some joy.

Timely advice for all of us incarcerated in our homes or apartments. I keep busy with several things – writing, of course, and editing; listening to You Tube and classical music concerts, walks with the dog now that spring weather is here, reading French and watching good cooking programs. Inviting select friends for dinner is out now, but hopefully those happy times will return. / M

Well said Ilene, one thing we mustn't lose is our sense of humour, keeps us sane in these dark times. Stay safe. Tom
