Notes About The Poem

Laugh and the world laughs with you

“We are all here on Earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for, I don’t know.” - W. H. Auden

Everyone wants to be a comedian,
some are better at it than others.
The many types of humour range 
from dark & bitter to kind & thought-provoking.

Sometimes there's room for interpretation
where depth of meaning can be found.
Society being an endless source of inspiration,
we won't run out of material any time soon.

Try to find it in your heart to somehow leave your mark
and contribute in positive ways to this world 
that is not as tough as it appears to be ~
below the surface it hurts and in much need of healing.

I love how you blend humor with a deeper message — it's a gentle reminder that while the world may seem tough, it’s full of hidden pain and needs kindness more than ever. Thoughtful and uplifting!

sara Etgen-Baker July 25, 2025 at 4:57 PM I definitely prefer the kind and thought provoking humor. Seems as if more and more dark and bitter comedy out there. I don't have the stomach for it. have a great evening, Sara Line Gauthier July 25, 2025 at 7:28 PM Totally agree. I appreciate the kind and thought provoking humour as well. Best wishes, Sara ~
