Humour and laughter are essential to me Not a want but a need Both warm my being Fuel for my soul guaranteed Humour and laughter Both the beat of my heart Raise my spirit high Anxieties and woes readily depart

I agree, Deb, Laughter heals the soul... Did you hear the one, three poets bumped into each other at the fork in the woods, No one knew which way to go So, they just sat down together and wrote a collaborative poem. Okay, I'm not that funny when I make up jokes anymore ... but I do hope you have a smile and a laugh on me today ... send me the bill. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I'd have to agree with you, Deb. The only good ones I know are not the kind of jokes I'd tell anyone anymore ... double meaning and Brawdy as most would say. lol Sometimes I think I lost my sense of humor. :-( I guess I'll just have to stick to poetry. Have a pleasant weekend my friend. Bill

Smile and the World smiles with you. Cry and you cry alone, came to mind when I read this. A smile and a good sense of humour is essential to us all. Good one, Deb XX
