Chuckles, Giggles, and Guffaws

Chuckles, giggles and guffaws That's the only way to fly Find silliness in all everyday things Tears of joy will fill your eyes In fact if you're not careful You'll infect your fellow man Before you can say "pink panties" Loonies will be running the land Now wait a minute let me see They already are I'm afraid They resemble a flock of turkeys Look at the mess they've made We pay them scads of money To perform their comedic routine That won't change any time soon So enjoy your plate of poutine Always look on the bright side of life Things have got to get better So why not try to enjoy yourself And just carry on unfettered ©Jack Ellison 2012 “Poutine” is a French Canadian dish of french fries, cheese curds, and rich dark brown gravy! YUM! A heart attack on a plate!

LOL... My husband once worked at an experimental turkey farm... He says they gave him far more attention than our politicians have... That's something we should probably be happy about. LOL

I don't believe poutine will make its appearance at McDonald's or Burger King anytime in the near future. Good poem again, Jack.
