Chuckle, snicker, guffaw, snort

Chuckle, snicker, guffaw, snort

A Poem by MrJodie
"

I needed something to laugh at. I found this in the lint filter in the dryer. Do you think it's real?

"
Everything just seems better when you're laughing at it
Even that uncomfortable bit right there
No, no, the one next to it
Yeah, that one
Is it heavy?
I thought they stopped making those in the eighties
They were banned in six countries
So everyone just had to have one
Even organically grown ones cause skin irritation
Of course if you sit too close to it you'll get a rush
No, not a rash, a rush
Don't ask me, I avoid exposure and take vitamins
I don't want to get cancer of the psychology
I read, somewhere, that if you think about it too long you'll regrow hair
And personal dryness may be an issue
Ask your doctor if it's right for your doctor
They come in designer colors for the hearing impaired
There's a special price if you buy less than one
May not be appropriate if you take offense to anything
Join the millions who have refused to participate
Act now and you may wait until further developments are announced
If symptoms occur, lie down and enjoy them
Have a cookie
Stop picking at it or it will never heal
Call your mother once in awhile
There's always something to laugh at
While supplies last
and last
and last
and...

Beautiful! Simply beautiful :)) And, I love the photo of the Dalai Lama (I think that's him, yes?), who writes incessantly about laughter and happiness. Some say it's the best medicine. Maybe it is like the ultimate cure that some say is hidden in the rainforests. It is so like Western culture to search for something physical when the obvious is right in front of us. Laughter. Happiness. Love. We can only have happiness if we love each other and love ourselves. Universally, I mean. Not selfishly....

lol!.. thank you for making the reader smile, such humorous-well thought out work
is a light and really brings a sense of lightheartedness to the forefront, the graphic
is a perfect choice, this writing screams good humor, many lines draw the reader to ponder
I really enjoyed reading this, thanks

I had to read this a few times. Each time I did my smile grew. Very clever and amusing.
There's a special price if you buy less than one... hehe

This is very funny and is so very clever as well - what an awesome spin here!!! Reminds me of when you overhear a piece of a conversation and can only imagine what they are really talking about! Haha - this happens in our cubicles r us office all the time.... I agree, I like the doctor line. What a hoot this is - going in the favs just to give me a hoot and a guffaw and maybe a snort....

I laughed so hard my sides hurt! This is good. I loved the word play! Good for your doctor! That line is a classic! Great, funny poem!
