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

“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.
