How to Stay Calm Forever

  
                Rather than deep dives into the daily news
                   I’ve been taking deep dives off cliffs with views

                For the news only makes me more and more pissed
                   Though after my latest dive off a cliff, ~ I no longer exist

Good one, Gershon. May we both feel renewed by the blessings of Passover for you, Easter for me. Springtide joy. Shalom, my friend. ~

Very witty and sadly true but also funny at the same time lol. Well, done, Gershon.

Sorry Gershon, your last line made me laugh, pleased that your write is fiction and hope that I will be excused… Beryl
