Add Humor To Your Day

Instead of acting like you’re in mourning Add a smile and say good morning Instead of walking around with a frown You can be happy without being a clown Instead of taking every chance to give others a poke Why not just sharing with them a funny joke All young kids don't need your tale to be gory Share with them a funny story No need to tell stories about your ex-wife Tell them something humorous about your life Here’s how I suggest you can make others laugh Let it slip you were still dressed when you got in the bath.

"no need to tell them about your ex-wife" - please print this on everyone's t-shirt.

I imagine a lot of women would strongly agree, that a T-shirt with that on front and back would be appropriate. :-) You got a smile out of me with that one, Caren. Have a happy day! Bill

What a sweet advice ! Sense of humor can make so much of a difference to life ! People would definitely prefer a clownish fellow to a long faced sage. I love humor, though I cannot be very humorous ! A lovely poem projecting a lovely attitude, dear Bill.

I was always the funny guy while in school, kind of a "Kathy's Clown" kind of guy. It was fun but very lonely when coupling up time came about. Now I have to work on a little humor to break the tension. I can get very serious quickly when people need it or want it. lol Thanks for the comment my friend. Bill
