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

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
