A Good Sense Of Humour Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality

So many times, I've held my head low 
So many times, I've taken a blow 
Somehow, some way, I've pulled on my strings 
And found some kind of way to better some things 
Take for instance, When I hear a bad rumor 
I say to myself- with a good sense of humour 
"As bad as

When the starless nights are bleakly opaque, 
and the sunless days desolately misty, 
to steer the astray life across an ambiguity maze 
within the miasma of misery is not easy. 

As life searches for the escape route in earnestness,
the whisper of humor dispels ludicrous haze from gloomy recess.

Time flounders in the cauldron of harsh reality,

Whimsy

Humour is not always fun
Sometimes it’s out of place
But when it strikes it could just put
A smile upon your face.

While walking barefoot on the sand
And contemplating woe, 
The muse of humour happened by
And this I did compose: 

I am a small and tiny toe
And of the colour pink
I complement my foot so well -

Harsh is life’s reality.
Each trial we endure is a sword of steel
that pierces the jagged edges
of our imperfect souls.

We cannot escape
the occasional slashes from life’s rapier
that fall upon us when times are hard,
but neither can we get through life
living with sorrow and angst
without a relief valve.

Even in the midst of great tragedies,
humans have found ways
to

The reality of life can
leave a bad taste,
especially when dealing
with those who are two-faced.
The road to hell may be 
paved with good intentions,
but hell on earth is dealing
with constant contraventions.
Everywhere we look 
there is always tension,
often coming from those
we'd rather not mention.
But through it all, 
there's one thing I've never misplaced,
something that simply 
can't be

A Good Sense of Humour Blunts the Sharp Blades of Reality

I try to crack a joke to tame a tense situation,
As a way of blowing up the slow building steam.
With a joke, I see all resentments flitting away,
And watch, how a happy mood begins to stream. 

Stiff formalities often leave me choking
In a very serious company, I feel at a loss
I'm so much at ease

When life threw me a curveball,
I stumbled—then chuckled mid-fall.
Lumped knees, not pride, I wore like bent,
because sneering is something I've seen.

In chemo rooms and vestibules,
I frenzied dry jokes on aseptic walls.
Doctors simpered, nurses would

A Good Sense Of Humour Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality: Shaving Ryan’s Privates

Roll back the clock to Josef Locke
(and not before or after),
in climes where shrines have names like Knock
without provoking laughter.

My father was an army man
(and yet me to beget),
all spit-and-polish, spick-and-span,
and quite the martinet.

Those soldier boys were short on poise
in those benighted days:
the Murphys, Martins and Molloys
were raised in rustic ways.

But Duty Sergeant Kevin Coy,
vesuviously

A good sense of humour blunts the sharp blades
Lifting a heavy heart, making our burden fades
Permanent or temporary, it’s facial muscles' relaxant aid
Bringing joy and laughter, keep it as a precious jade!

Humour is anti-stress, a powerful medicine in life
A priceless cream to cure our cuts from trial’s knife
When some difficult circumstances come rife
Exchange humour with

A Good Sense Of Humor Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality

We look at life as a routine clown show,
Slipping on banana peels that we throw;
Clothing in mismatched socks of hope and sin, 
Mirror laughs back with toothpaste on the chin.

We discover that joke requires balance,
Fixing the glaring lamp of limit's glance; 
In slippers, we walk the tightrope to sink,
Accepting discord of life with a wink.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I lay on the table, a modern-day sacrificial lamb,
pillow cradling my head, a fortress of foam and fabric.
Then came Velcro, the sticky embrace of a high-tech straitjacket,

Angels and Razor Blades

Take care of each other out there
wherever "out there" may be...
a shopping mall
a city street
a place of worship
beside a country creek.
There's a deepening stain
on the tapestry of society
It's time to 
scrub it out
scrub it rough
scrub it clean.

Had enough of turning the other cheek?
Seems to me the cheek was picked clean a long time ago.
Time to

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance 
to your steps, as you walk the tightrope of life.
Quote  By William Arthur Ward 

We were young and filled with responsibilities 
new to town, married and in our early twenties 
My husband needed surgery and I didn't drive 
with two small kids I

How I hate it when they call me a clown,
Yet I can't help but make people laugh.
It comes unbidden, needing no invitation —
As though a trove of jokes is placed in my mouth.

Often I try to bridle my face and talk tough,
But when a flume of gloom drowns spirits deep down,
Then my sense of humour
