Laugh At Yourself




                              Laugh At Yourself


        One of the most powerful effects on us.
        That blessing when you, actually laugh at you.
        Wet with pickle juice, as it fell, you don’t rue!
        Light a smile when you missed the very last bus.


        Some sweet, awesome poet won poem of the day?
        You call a distant friend, on how they are doing. 
        Whilst pungent,  aromatic, French coffee is brewing.
        You don’t scowl, your chance will come one day!


        Positive laughter, like skiing down a sleek hill!
        Observe the wide smile on your dog or pet’s face.
        They simply bubble with pet style and God’s grace!
        Be at peace, smile, release all the world’s ills.

I like you Prince, because you do think!! About cogent matters. And because you have not deserted me. Thank you for that and for letting me, be me. I call that..””poetry family.””. You are my blessing, Prince! God Bless you. Pangie

Elena, Being a grouch is surely NO fun. Far worse… Thinking that by using my pea size brain……..I can change the world. Not realizing…it is I, who must be of service to others. Giving beats winning. Winning is but temporal, it’s fun and glorious, and then,,,who cares? Pangie
