HUMOR

 

All of  us as humans, can share a special feeling;

Through a sense of humor , that Freud says is revealing

 

We laugh where things are funny, Or let out that silly sigh;

We giggle at the stupidest  things,  and laugh so hard we cry.

 

It doesn't,  take Jonny Carson or David Letterman,

To twang our sense of humor, like a comedian .

 

A joke, a  line , a scene or story may tickle our funny bone;

It may be with some friends or crowd, or even when  we 're  alone .

 

But some take life too seriously and have lost this sacred red sense;

They easily are irritated  and quick to take offense.

 

This is sad , 0 so sad , for humor  is the key,

That opens doors to a lighter side of life that is funny.

 

And last, not least, we laugh because humor heals the ailing heart

No pill  or treatment can compare with the joking art .
