A Wacky Sense of Humour

What do we find funny What makes us tickle Laughter can come easy But sometimes it's fickle One person chuckles Another just groans Depends on your senses If you giggle or moan Some find humour In most things they see Depends on your outlook That's surely the key Go around moping With chin on the ground You sure won't be able To wipe off that frown You must laugh at life And not take it serious If you fret over things You'll soon be delirious So take this advice From someone who knows Be happy and jolly Away with the woes The world's just a stage For your comedy routine Just keep 'em laughing And try keeping it clean! © Jack Ellison 2012

Papa just completed his last chemo... I expect a lot more chuckles from here on out... We're celebrating with yummy ribs tonight... A few more lab tests and doctor visits before the 9th... But chuckles are on the way and the prescription of the day! He can't wait to get back on his motorcycle. I'm sending my brother in to ride cycles with him up to Sturgis this summer.
