'Silly' Me
“Life is too short to be serious all the time. So, if you can’t laugh at yourself, call me and I’ll laugh at you.” - Anonymous
Silliness is not a curse, it's a blessing if you care to know.
To be serious and smug is what all fake people like to show.
To be light-hearted and silly billy is not a sin, blunder.
Seriousness is malady best killed before life's asunder.
Silliness helps you break the ice and lightens life's many burdens
Prudish approach inevitably makes you miss all the guerdons
Life itself throws silliest of problems have you ever noticed.
In love matters, you've no idea even the remotest
And if you take silly matters seriously life becomes hell.
It's from certain foolish experiences I can simply tell.
When serious becomes silly, and silly becomes serious,
You're inviting troubles in your life and it becomes tedious.
Experience says silly behaviour can be rewarding too.
If it's not overdone, beyond measure, and you are truly you.
I've heard humour and silliness are natural, free, stress-busters.
Laconic, but timely silly jokes can be happy life's thrusters.
So, do not underestimate what appears a silly half-wit.
Despite appearance, he's the happiest soul you care to admit.
