A marvelous piece with a marvelous message. The poem is so well done that conveys your message in funny simplicity. Like many others, I too smiled as I digested it. Like Thad, I’ll keep mine around a while as well. Stone

I love this Ernestine. The opening two stanzas are great in that way that the process of laughing is analysed (yes, that's the right word) . This is a celebration of life and that is one of the odd things about today: in my youth it was always the old-folk moaning about how hard life is. These days it is so much the other way around. It is up to codgers like us to remind the youth that living is actually a great thing. Thanks Babe!

I do so agree Ernestine and that is why I have just purchaced all the Faulty towers videos and the life of dear Brian to watch this week, I am in a bit of a rut right now and can't seem to climb out of it, humour will do the trick. Thank you for directing me here and thank you for writing your sweet poem of how to raise a smile and put down the fear that threatens to devour....Tai x
