A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps, as you walk the tightrope of life. Quote By William Arthur Ward
We were young and filled with responsibilities new to town, married and in our early twenties My husband needed surgery and I didn't drive with two small kids I had to find a way to jive When I got to the hospital I bought him a souvenir one big fury ape with a grin that said, "I'm here! " He wasn't in bed so I put the ape in bed instead a nurse came in, she almost fell over with dread He came out of the washroom and found it there when it comes to humor we make quite a pair He soon recovered and the ape came live with us I took driving lessons, now I don't take the bus This is a true story of how I used humor to cope years have come and gone still I climb the slope Using humor in a crisis can surely help my dear, it can ease the soul and help you when you fear.

The theme of this wonderful poem is the use of humor as a coping strategy in trying times, Vienna. Your own experience juggling your husband's operation with the demands of motherhood emphasizes how humor and lightheartedness can make trying times easier. Good luck with the contest.

How sweet! I'm glad you find humour to be a good coping mechanism, dear. What a sweet little stuffed toy with a great message. Please check the 3rd line in the stanza before the last. ;)
