Humor gives life joy
Laughter is a balm that soothes
Tell me a good joke...
Make me chuckle make me roar
Take me to hilarious

Dear Deb, I really like this tanka. It reminds me of a friend named Chris who brought joy to my life for 18 years before he passed away. Thank you for your kind comment. Love and blessings, Carolyn

To me humor is, in a sense the wine of life! Depending of how much one drinks he escalates his joy! Christ must be a very Joyful fellow! Very good Tanka dear Deb! Good luck!
