I know this lovely poet,
Her name is Ann Gilmour
She really is an angel,
One that I adore.
She's a best friend of my Auntie,
They have a lot in common,
Parkinson's being one of them
Which is really rather rotten
(Life's not fair)
I first met Ann in February,
At Auntie Liz's seventy
And invited her to come and visit me,
When I found her cousin lives so close you see.
Then I went to Eastbourne,
Ann lives right beside the sea,
In a beautiful penthouse way up high
With stunning views of sea and sky.
It really was pretty.
Now last week whilst I was walking
My dog's Treacle, Bar and Ro
I had to climb a five bar gate
Which proved to be a big mistake
(As someone had removed it from it's hinges)
And over I did go.
I heard my bone snap in my wrist
The pain was so severe
I was soon rescued by my sis
Who was thankfully driving near.
When next morning Ann heard of my plight
She put pen to paper and began to write,
(Or it may have been fingers to keypad!)
"To Restore Your Equilibrium"
A poem written for me,
Entered in to Dear Hearts contest
And got a fourth place win I see.
(Yay congratulations Ann!)
Ann has checked up on my progress
With emails full of virtual hugs
That have brightened up my day
More than any painkilling drugs!
While chatting via the internet
I was getting in such a sweat,
I had a wedding to attend
Of my daughter Lucy's oldest friend
But how would I put on my face
Or get in my Spanx to hold it all in place.
Then Ann soon came up with a rhyme
As witty as can be to
"Celebrate Your Wobbly Bits"
Not to worry how your outfit sits
And let it all hang free.
They say that laughter is the best medicine
I can tell you it is true
It took my mind away from pain
Made me want to write again
(difficult with my non dominant hand)
A little poem just for Ann
To say a BIG THANK YOU.
Hugs and kisses dearest Ann.
Laughter is the best medicine
To chase those blues away
It's naturally designed
To let sunshine come your way
When you've had a rough day
And nothing seems to go your way
Smile.... even though skies are gray
Your laughter will chase those blues away
When your nerves begin to fray
And it seems the blues are here to stay
Smile..... and let happiness come your way
Your laughter will chase those blues away
When it starts storming
And those blues begin forming
Take two good laughs
And call me in the morning

1. Time will always reveal what you truly mean to someone.
2. Sometimes, the best response is to say nothing at all.
3. Perfection does not exist. Work on improvement, not on being perfect.
4. Love yourself first. Everything else will follow suit.
5. Your glow will automatically change with good people and great intentions in your life.
6. Laugh often. Laughter is the best medicine.
7. Life will teach its hardest lessons to the softest hearts.
8. Fear is shallow, whereas regret is deep.
9. It is alright that you disconnect for some time.
10. And if nobody helps you, then do it alone.
"Laughter is the best medicine"
There was once a rich business man who was diagnosed with cancer
doctor told you will not live for more than three months
Back home he decided to enjoy last days of his life
He watched comedy movies and laughed all day
Kept himself happy in all possible way
One day he realised he had lost count of time
Six months had passed and he was still alive
Went to doctor for check up,
Doctor told you no longer have cancer
Through his laughter he was cured
Another young man again a cancer patient
Doctor had lost all hopes
Spent his day watching his favourite comedy series, laughing and being happy
He too was cured miraculously
That's the power of laughter and happiness
These incidents are true happenings
For curing cancer laughter is best medicine
If you can't find anything to laugh
Laugh for no reason
It will trigger a chain reaction
Even if you don't believe me give it a try
It is harmless and absolutely free

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder,
But Whiskey makes you frisky.
Clerihews and epigrams are fine but
Do not tell these to one lost in love
Except when you mean to cheer up one
Fevered with temporary amourous setbacks.
Gift them the gift prized by one and all
Humour - evoking laughter or perhaps a smile
Inviting a participation in the balm laced with
Jokes, both ribald and a bit of the plain
Killing the gloom of mindless regret and remorse.
Laughter is the best medicine, they say,
Mightily potent to dissipate every whiff of gloom
Nostrum for broken hearts and the flings and arrows of life.
Ophidian ilk are friends that are wry, shirking a shoulder
Pretending with masks to smile away misfortune yet
Questing to wring out sweet savor from other's calamity.
Roar unto the wind a bit louder than the storm
Spoiling what they seek with your tuppence attitude.
Take what is yours, let no one deny you your share
Under any circumstance do not relent for what is your due.
Verity is a virtue that'll stand in good stead,
Warmth towards your fellows won't ever waste.
X-factor's something natural not something you fake,
Yearning for glory like a harlot who'll sell.
Zing is the thing with this homily, my friend.

Amusing is easy. Real is impossible.
March 23, 1949 I arrived to spectacular reviews.
When I was first male child things went swimmingly!
Passed around to waiting, loving arms was a delight.
It wasn't too long before I wore out my welcome.
My father was a war hero, a bomber pilot who escaped
from behind enemy lines when shot down over France.
I interrupted his adulation and he was none too pleased.
Pilots took speed to fly many long missions; addicted.
He was a loving and angry man. I never knew which and
I grew into boyhood balanced upon a precarious blade.
I learned to be a jester and leave them laughing and
that worked until it didn't and then all bets were off!
Beat me and I'll beg for mercy. Scream at me and I cringe.
Send me to my barren room. Threaten me with all you've got,
and all I'll do is bide time and amuse you back to my will.
Laughter is the best medicine. Let's resume a "normal" life.
I’ve had a fair share of tragedy in my life,
When my father passed away I found I lost two cousins too
When I flew to Zimbabwe I almost separated from my wife
So you see my tragedy excelled and grew
Two years later I found I was flying back home
Mama had died in her house all alone
So my sister told me over the phone
Again separation with my wife was on the cards as I roam
She wanted the house and everything in it
My wife expected me to give it up because we has a son
But before I left I had to ensure her I was not beat
I told her by law I’m entitled to half and she knew I won
So forgive me when I write only funny rhyme
Tragedy is something I have not learned to deal with, I confess.
These are a few of the tragedies in my time
And until I fine a way to cope with it, it will be the funnies I address.
Laughter is the best medicine
I'm just your happy go lucky and very care free,
absolutely miserable SOB,
who deals with his depression by trying to be funny,
in a comical approach to writing poetry,
as opposed to depressing the hell out of everybody
who may happen unfortunately to surround me.
I don't believe in that old adage, "Misery Loves Company."
Just because I always feel like crap,
doesn't give me the right to make they who surround me also feel like that.
It's true, laughter is the best medicine, but not the very best that can be.
Laughter is the better medicine for yours truly
when laughter is experienced by others but caused by me.
"Tears Of A Clown" is a song that portrays me very accurately,
oh and "I Am A Rock" is a song that was written about me specifically.
Who Am I?
I'm just your happy go lucky and very care free,
absolutely miserable SillyBilly,
who loves absolutely, sincerely and unconditionally,
the entire Poetry Soup community,
who I consider to be, in all honesty,
not only great members of this great site, but also all members of my family.
Who Am I?
... oh crap, I got nothing.
Avoiding work like the plague is my main aim
Picking the low hanging fruit sounds very lame
The least I can do, at the end of the day
My hope is that this dog will have his payday
Critics will say it’s a shame and call me slack
It sounds like the pot calling the kettle black
You really don’t have to read between the lines
It’s not hard for you to find my clever rhymes
I believe laughter is the best medicine
I open doors to thoughts like a gentleman
Then I just add some kids from the candy store
and silver from a lining for a bit more
I live outside the box and find there laughter
I live for the happily ever after!

OLD MA.
Old Ma always gave the kids a nice treat
Always nuts and never anything sweet
But they soon found out why
Nuts were in great supply
Choc nut bars she'd only suck cos no teeth...
NO HIDING PLACE.
An old gangster robbed a bank and he ran
Flew out from Canada then onto Japan
The Mounties tracked him down
In old Tokyo Town
He was caught cos they always get their man...
A WARDROBE MALFUNCTION
Went to a posh restaurant called Vicars
A girl walked out the loo, there were titters
Her face turned a bright red
At what's every girls dread
She'd gone and tucked her dress down her knickers...
DOMINATRIX.
A dominatrix from the state of Maine
Enjoyed hanky panky out in the rain
She'd use a leather fetter
T'would shrink as it got wetter
And her clients would pass out with the pain..
A FRIEND IN NEED.
The outback two mates went to catch a 'roo
One got cut short and said "I need the loo"
A spider crawled up his knee
As he was starting to pee
And bit him hard on his digeridoo...
His mate phoned the flying doctor who said
"Suck out the Poison if it has turned red"
He thought to himself no way
His mate said "well what's he say?"
He said "in 'bout half an hour you'll be dead" ...
LOST THEIR WAY. For Gershon Wolf
Geese flew south they were honking and hinking
Snow storm came they were blinded and blinking
They had no way of knowing
Where the hell they were going
To see them sway you'd think they'd been drinking...
