Treasure The Jokes From Your Joker

More can’t piddle with their piddler
Nor can fiddle with their fiddler
Age removes more than a little
Rage just leads to the hospital

Life gives us many fits and starts
Strife’s left once we lose bits and parts
If there’s less poke in your poker
Riff out some jokes from your joker


For the 8x8x8x8 contest

Dearest David, gads, the last wo lines are super.you are one great at fun in poetry. I dont havve that skill. You don’t know me in person, but I am pretty crazy. And unafraid to express myself and very humorous ways, but I don’t do that much in poetry. I leave that to masters like you.. Sorry, I haven’t been around for a few days. Please know that you’re in my thoughts every day even if I’m not here.. I don’t like losing my vision and hearing. Love, Pangie

Hey …apolgies for all the spelling errors, not unusual for me. My vision is nasty.. it is perfectly OK with me for you to write to me and say ..hey you made some errors in your poem. I’ve learned that from the best poets here. He is very humble and doesn’t want to see people with errors in their poems like I did, so he just soups to me and me and said check out a poem .I call that a real friend. ! Thank you. I do miss you and I hope you’re OK. Hugs Pangie 6/7/2023 .

Thanks Pangie for your kind words. It seems like your personality is a part of your poems, and if not, it's in your comments(funniest on the Soup sometimes). We're routing for your eyes and ears to do their job!

David, at least there's humor at the end! Unfortunately, many can identify with what you're discussing. Piddlers, fiddlers, and pokers malfunctioning make it tough to laugh, but at least we have poetry!!!

Thanks so much Duke for appreciating this. Yes, poetry and a finite amount of words creates more possibilities of winners than a state lottery ever can.

Hello David, LOL! What a great rhythm and playful tone! The mix of humor and wisdom creates a fun read, while also giving a subtle nod to life's unpredictable nature. I love how you close with that invitation to find joy and laughter, even in the face of life's challenges! Winter Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
