Some Kids Are Funny

Life without children takes away every joy,
some kids are funny, others are really mean;
the ones who make you laugh more aren't lean:
they are the chubby ones that love sweet candy! 

Ask them which Holidays they prefer over others
and they will surely tell you , " Christmas and Halloween! "
Oh, that thrill is a scream that overwhelms their senses;
it sparkles in their big smile that never loses sheen!

Love these little darlings, don't be surprised
if the very funny ones will become the future clowns!
" Not my kids, of course! " We all say aloud;
are clowns really normal without their ups-and-downs? 

Funny kids fill our world with wonder, laughter and great joy;
let's take care of them: they are our ultimate delight! 
They may be naughty, spiteful and sometimes fight,
but as they slowly outgrow their whims, they will not annoy!

Thank you, Eve for your comment today. We are all inspired by someone else. Whenever you come across: a painting, a landscape, a child's smile: they can inspire us and challenge our skills in creating a poem that can be remembered for ages to come. It has been a delight to hear from you. Best Wishes. Peace & Love, Andrew.
