It's Hard

It's hard to be good like I know I should.
Being naughty is just fun to me.

Why not laugh instead of sigh?
Life throws us knocks, it's hard to get by.

I see humour in the strangest places.
Slip on a banana? I'm in stitches.

Mundane encounters where one flounders.
Innuendos that cross boundaries.

Sexual shenanigans, stiff upper lip.
Just can't wait for them to slip.

My Dad and I share that gene.
We giggled at what seemed obscene.

Thank God I see the funny side.
What I've been through would make you cry.
