A Gift You Are Holding

Watching t.v. makes me laugh sometimes
The things people said
"What do you expect for $ 26 a month?"
about a house in some countries 
- a room actually
Yeah what do you expect?
The way he said it was actually funny
I like to laugh at people
Not laughing at them
But with them
There is a difference
I do laugh at them too
I am not a saint
"You get what you pay for
You know?"
Here he goes again
Some people are just too funny
I can't help it
"It's like a hotel" he said
"Private" - too funny
And another one goes
"life is never perfect"
Yeah you learn so much by watching t.v.
and everything else too
What did you learn?
I learn that life can be funny
with all the twits and twats
with all the geese and goose
with all the goosebumps and bags of chips
It's worth living
It's worth taking
Hold it with open arms
What is it that you are holding?
A gift - my friend - a gift
