A Good Sense of Humour Blunts the Sharp Blades of Reality

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 replaced,
a joyful truth that 
I've always embraced:
a day without laughter 
is just a day gone to waste.
