Bit of a sonance pickle, be it assonance e's (i's) or, consonance ll's, as both rings true, nonetheless, a capital mono 'tis, my friend. Thanks, Milt, for sharing your thought-provoking talents via your theme, Aloha!

Nice Monorhyme, Milton, I had to read twice to grasp the meaning that: In these trying times, the world desperately needs frivolity, benign silliness of the highest quality, mixed in with the politics of various nations, which will surely boost the amount of laughing across the world.

You got it, Lasaad. I wanted the rhyme, but your version is just as full of meaning. And, yes, politics, already mixed with a good amount of silliness, could be raised to a higher level.
