Jolly Folly

Irresponsibly jolly
Afternoon of folly
Amusement found
Festivities abound
Lightheaded foolishness
Bouts of happiness
Joyous merriment
Heart’s glorious alignment

There has to be some "jolly" in life; we must allow ourselves to play. Beautiful!

I enjoyed the picture which you projected, Line. Nothing wrong with being jolly, as long as nobody goes overboard! Regards // paul

I feel like you were in the corner yesterday when my hens and I were at a restaurant for four hours laughing like the hyenas we become when we gather.

A girl's gotta have fun! Jolly yes; folly no; just the preservation of sanity.
