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"
Lunies 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 – A French Canadian dish
of french fries, cheese curds and brown gravy.
A heart attack on a plate!!!)

Lindsay Laurie Date: 7/6/2015 2:44:00 AM You've hit the nail right on the head young Jack, although those beaurocrats think we're laughing with them, not at them - keep rolling out the giggles young Jack - Lindsay Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 7/15/2015 9:52:00 PM When they take on the job, they must know not all people will be on their side! Kinda feel sorry for them... they're not all looney toons!!! - Jack xxx

Carol Eastman Date: 7/5/2015 2:40:00 PM Dragon doesn't need to chuckle, giggle, or guffaw when he flies. He doesn't fly very well when he's already concentrating REALLY hard! Poor baby has his moments tho. When the Elven King gives him a little magic he goes hog flying wild! The Elven King said not to worry. He'll fly better when he's older and his wings grow more. Hope the forest lasts that long! Those head dives are costing a lot of trees! I think that's why the Elven King keeps giving him some magic. To save the trees! Ya think?
