L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

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.

Tom Cunningham March 26, 2022 at 2:14 PM They say laughter is the best medicine and how true that is, Jack certainly has the right idea, nothing fazes him.
