You know, poetry can be fun too --
not all need be melancholy blue.  
Not all need be broken-heart,
brain surgery trying to restore
a logical missing part – 
destabilizing like an ingrown fart (whatever).
With common aches we need
to break.  Why not also poetry, for goodness
sake?!  Light verse is not necessarily
better nor worse.  Not all poetry 
need roll like a hearse.  Poetry can 
be happy and sad – So, for this 
day I play – from sad I seek world 
redemption I pray!  Smile for self as well as 
for God I say!

Agree with you dear Joe. Yes, poetry is not just to give a vent to our melancholy thoughts. It is for joy and entertainment. It is for fun and revelry too.

'destabilizing like an ingrown fart.' That line says it all, Joe. Even Yogi Berra is jealous.

Boy those things hurt! Thank you, Gershon. See the latest? Major news networks would not air Trump's Speech. They should lose their news licenses...free speech, yes, but the public should not have to pay for biased propaganda. Let their Marxist sponsors foot the bill.
