Bring On the Smiles

I know humor can hoist my heavy heart, those times when I've made too much ado. A joke upgrades angst to laughter's ballyhoo. You sometimes forget what you once knew. Take this guy who wears his shorts on his head; yes, he is a clown with a natural glow forgetting what he does, the facts you forego You don't know what you don't know. Curious about what you remember? It makes perfect sense in my head. I would never ignore nonsense that's well-said. What will you know, when you are braindead... written October 21, 2016 inspired by two quotes “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou "Nonsense and beauty have close connections". E. M. Forster
