Notes About The Poem

Natasha L. Scragg poetry contest- "A good sense of humour blunts the sharp blades of reality"

A Good Sense Of Humour Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality

So many times, I've held my head low 
So many times, I've taken a blow 
Somehow, some way, I've pulled on my strings 
And found some kind of way to better some things 
Take for instance, When I hear a bad rumor 
I say to myself- with a good sense of humour 
"As bad as it is, someone has it a lot worse than me" 
Yet someone's got it worse than them; undoubtedly 
I tell all my friends, my children and wife 
We all need to have humour installed in our life 
A keen sense of humour can help in ways 
That could make someone feel better in their toughest days
Life's dull without humour, and it could be quite a bore 
We all need to have humour, need I say any more 
Humour has helped me to connect all the dots 
When I've been tied up- it untangled the knots 
Humour is nice, it often makes me smile 
It's nice to hear some good humour once in a while 
The rewards will reap good and most likely be kind 
So, I'll share my good humour with you... 
That is, of course... If you don't mind

Some people seem to have been born w/o one, then there are those like me who were overdosed with humor. Many times, for instance in the office, I'd start laughing at my own funny thoughts or at home or a store, on a plane, and the best laugh memories are late at night in bed w/ my love. I liked your poem and congratulate you on your fine placement. Poetry hugs and giggles ... CayCay
