Laughter Is A Gift

, (c) 2012


Laughter is a gift
It doesn't mean your fit
But it will soften any tension
It could be consider stress prevention.

Find a reason to laugh
Just look at funny giraffes
Watch a funny show
A transformation you will go.

Read a silly book
And laugh so others will look
Or watch some children play
They always find a yea!

The most wasted of all days
Is one where laughter is delayed.
When life gets you down
Please don't frown.

So take this wonderful gift
And don't ever be miffed
Laughter makes living
For us to be giving

As the famous Poet, e.e. cummings once said, "The most of all days is one without laughter."

Get A Transfer

Poet: Unknown


If you are on the Gloomy Line,
Get a transfer.
If you're inclined to fret and pine,
Get a transfer.
Get off the track of doubt and gloom,
Get on the Sunshine Track -there's room-
Get a transfer.

If you're on the Worry Train,
Get a transfer.
You must not stay there and complain,
Get a transfer.
The Cheerful Cars are passing through,
And there's lots of room for you-
Get a transfer.

If you're on the Grouchy Track,
Get a transfer.
Just take a Happy Special back,
Get a transfer.
Jump on the train and pull the rope,
That lands you at the station of Hope-
Get a transfer.

Remember the line, "get a transfer". Use it as a positive affirmation when things are not going as you wish. Never let go of hope - dream, take action, and get that transfer to live the life you wish.

Consider the Hammer
Poet: Unknown


Consider the hammer -

It keeps its head.
It doesn't fly off the handle.
It keeps pounding away.
It finds the point,

then drives it home.

It looks at the other side, too,
and thus often clinches the matter.
It makes mistakes, but when it does,
it starts all over.
It is the only knocker in the world
That does any good.

Prisons In The Air

by Alessandra Liverani, Copyright (c) 2003


We have all heard of castles in the air
No one's mentioned prisons, I really don't think that is fair
Because prisons are much more common, lurking in our minds
We create bars of steel and walls of every kind

Sometimes we try escaping, but we don't have the keys
So desperately through the bars, ourselves we try to squeeze
Oh that is just too difficult, don't get very far
So we just decide to stay put and save ourselves the scars

It's not too bad in prison, when all is said and done
If you try hard enough, you can even have some fun
But I suppose it would be better, better than I could even dream
If the bars that I created of steel, I could turn into ice cream


Remember Abbott and Costello, they were a comedy team that made audiences smile and laugh for many years in the 1940's and 1950's. Rumor has it that they once bought an insurance policy from Lloyds of London for $100,000 just in case any of their audiences died of laughter. Believe It or Not!
