A Wicked Sense of Humour

“You have a wicked sense of humour” Someone recently chided Twisting what seem like serious events Into silliness quite one sided That's why I'm here to lighten things up Adding sunshine to the Soup From the great responses coming my way You seem like a happier group It's a real tough job but someone's gotta do it To counter the doom and gloom That permeates the airways every day Whisking them away with my broom A broom of happiness, of very good cheer Coz life's a very short trip Just live, love, and laugh at the world With a happy-go-lucky skip “You have a wicked sense of humour” Had it since I was a young'un Now decrepit but still chuckling away Every day is for funnin' © Jack Ellison 2013 Dedicated to Shadow Hamilton

You're writing doesn't go unoticed by you know who, I am currently in a war of woo, Let's see who will notice comments of rhyme, as if I can master time. Great work my friend, your words always clever, like that proverbial double edged sword.

Dragon wants to be just like you... He wants to make people laugh, too... Tho as a 2 year old he changes his mind often... Not long ago he wanted to be a fireman... Tho he thought it meant lighting the fires... LOL... The firemen had quite a time explaining that one to him... He is good at search and rescue in a fire, tho... Flames don't bother him... and he's rather strong, too. And yes, he's still wants to be a hero... He likes all that praise, you know... He wants me to help him find Jillian.
