Fools Rule!
When people are awful and
life seems grim,
That’s when we need sillies
the most.
Laughter’s not “extra”, child
of a whim,
It’s that step bread must
take to be toast.
The fool trapped inside you
longs for release
To joke and provoke you to
smile.
Indulging your jester puts
blues to the rest or
At least cuts you slack for a
while.
Roll in the grass, bark like
a dog, throw handfuls of leaves in the air,
Lie on the earth and feel
your pulse pounding.
Rejoice to be human, do what
you dare
Down ‘mongst the animals,
safe from the cannibals
“Because we taste funny”
resounding
Laughter’s our motto,
everyone ought to
Acknowledge that life is
astounding.
