“Laughter is poison to fear.”
― George R.R. Martin
Cleansing my soul with laughter
rough feeling before much better after
humour cleansing my mind
causing rewind
hearing it up to the rafters
Felt those clouds surrounding my head
my heart weighed down; felt like lead
now looking for the funny
more precious than money
that makes silver out of anger’s red
Now a new day’s found it’s start
sunshine opening the heart
I’ve found the happy
may seem a bit sappy
but crying’s never felt smart..
lymrical sappiness perhaps, but wow there are days that only humour can get me through and I love word play and merriment. Tho on an evening where i’m talking about laughter, I can’t come up with anything funny to say. So I’ll use other people’s :
“When I’m not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded.” — Steven Wright
“Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read ” — Groucho Marx
“A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.” — Emo Philips
love the Wright quote and have used Groucho’s many a time
Me as well
When I want pure wit almost nothing beats Groucho tho Steve Wright or Emo Philips delights me with how twisted they can get
I love laughing and making people laugh, too..the groucho quote had me giggling 🙂
Standing at the shore of life, I watched the happiness surfed by, I watched the children built castles for a while, then the tide came very high, tumbled the surfer way up high, washed away the castle from my side..for a moment there was surprise..and then all of us laughed and rolled on with a smile..the wave taught us one lesson today..we can laugh at castles get washed away and surfing my dear life, if we get a high tide..fall free..for tide will pass and we will survive..to surf again..)
Having read the entire ‘Song of Ice and Fire’ series through twice it doesn’t surprise me at all that George RR Martin would say that! I’m with you though – laughter is a wonderful thing. I really like ‘A Child’s Offering’ …
Thanks, A lot of my art this past week has been attempts to use a lot more of my own brushwork in the art that i make.
