Businessman telling joke stock image. Image of formal - 32092299

Instead of acting like you’re in mourning Add a smile and say good morning Instead of walking around with a frown You can be happy without being a clown Instead of taking every chance to give others a poke Why not just sharing with them a funny joke All young kids don't need your tale to be gory Share with them a funny story No need to tell stories about your ex-wife Tell others something humorous about your life Here’s how I suggest you can make others laugh Let it slip you were still dressed when you got into the bath.

Thanks for this one, Bill. A nice reminder that it doesn't have to be filled with drama to be a good story.

Dear Bill, What a refreshing reminder to embrace joy and spread laughter instead of dwelling on negativity. It’s a gentle nudge to find humor in life’s moments and share it with others. Your words inspire a brighter perspective and a lighter heart. Bill, Keep spreading smiles and laughter wherever you go! - Blessings Daniel

Thanks for the encouragement, Daniel. Being positive and often humorous, comes naturally to me. I have to be sick or out of whack to be negative about just about anyone or anything. Blessings to you, my friend. I'll try to catch up of all the poetry I've missed while I've been sick this last week, starting Monday. I'm trying to catch up on other's comments on my poetry while I've been out today and tomorrow. Have a pleasant weekend! Bill

It would make a good closing line for a limerick, I think. Thanks for the comments, Robert. Have a nice weekend! Bill
