Leave Them Laughing

She, Gilda, would run into wall - he, Chevy, orchestrate fumbling fall - simply to invoke chuckle, chortle, titter, spontaneous guffaw. Carol’s impersonation of lone cleaner, Bob’s deadpan unsmiling demeanor, spoke on some basic level to all - providing service of social screener. She, Joan, of clever deprecation - he, Curly, of selfless indignation - reached for compassionate challenge in offering gift of spiritual inflation. Ellen’s casual, sanguine comments - Rodney’s roguish, insightful laments - has shined everyday light and mirrored without lingering hint of niggling offense. Whatever their name happens to be it’s not that difficult to see they loyally and lovingly portrayed life’s rhythm, rhyme, and absurdity. So, in this day, a friendly shout to the individuals whom without we might never had opportunity to’ve seen what this strange journey is really about.
