Janice Canerdy Poet Verse

Joking

Jollity lifts spirits.
		Joshing’s great. Let’s hear it!
		Jocose friends who, with wit,
		jazz things up are a hit!
		Jabs can be unnerving;
		jibes can be self-serving.
		Jesting must be gentle.

Jan Allison March 4, 2017 at 2:40 PM Well penned Janice .. there can be a fine line with what people consider is humourous ... joking is fun but jabs and jibes can be so hurtful . Good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx Janice Canerdy March 4, 2017 at 8:54 PM Thanks so much, Jan! I have known a few people who were always "just joking"--apparently never noticing that nobody was laughing and some were actually offended! Janice
