Make Time For Fun

Save some time each day for pure enjoyment Learn the value of a hearty laugh, Nothing is so refreshing as pure contentment Make a funny comment your autograph, I’ve learned a valuable secret from our Jack Ellison Reading his limericks each day, He has a unique way of teaching us this lesson In a joyful, non-confrontive way. Keep in mind, we never get too old to enjoy The lighter moments in our life, Lightheartedness is a wonderful, available ploy To rid ourselves of all injurious strife. written March 26, 2022

Amen!... Speaking of laughs: Have you heard this one? -- Job candidate asks, 'What's the salary?' Interviewer answers, 'At first $40,000. Then later $80,000.' Job candidate responds, 'See you later.' ~ Smiles, Gershon

They say laughter is the best medicine and how true that is, Jack certainly has the right idea, nothing fazes him. Tom

He is a delightful human being. I love his limericks and his verses. They are always a high point in my day. I don't know if he'll read this, but I hope so.
