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

A good sense of humour blunts the sharp blade of reality poetry contest

Witty words keep me sane 
A giggle eases, life’s pain
When times are trying
Laugh through the rain
Reroute the grooves
Soften the grain

With faces stiff
A snooty drift
Good humor sees
Life is a gift

Minus a grin
Hard work won’t win
May spot the crowd
But won’t fit in

So when you choose
Smile over frown
You’ll lift the blues
A joyful sound

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

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 -

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

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,

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

Butt out - humour warning!

Bill prodded his sebaceous cyst
‘Twas massive the size of his fist
It spurted green pus
His wife made a fuss
“Get treatment NOW, I must insist”

Blue lighted to the A & E
Huge spurting cyst medics could see
Bill’s livid butt boil
Made doctor’s recoil
Needs lancing now, they all agree

They bundle Bill onto a table
“Don’t sedate him” said his wife Mable

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

a sharp two-edge blade
cuts too quick for pound of flesh-
sly parry of wit
leaves assailant floundering
