I FIND THERE’S HUMOUR TO BE HAD.
I find there‘s humour to be had
in all those things we deem are bad
so, don’t let humour pass us by
when there’s a choice to laugh or cry.
Years ago, someone once said
something that’s stayed within my head.:
“Let’s joke about adversity
and laugh at its’ absurdity”.
Once in a while, we need to smile
for that’s what makes our lives worthwhile
and in a world so full of woe
humour is the way to go.
It seems someone’s calamity
is another’s triviality,
so, which of these is it to be
when dealing with our ostomy?
When personal plumbing lets us down
do we smile or do we frown?
The former is a great expression
the latter can lead to depression.
I find a life that’s full of crap
can find some fun in a mishap
and won’t be phased by all life’s shit
so, turn it ‘round and laugh at it.
When chronic illness clouds our day
let laughter take the clouds away
for I recall what my mum said
to ”Laugh a lot before you're dead!”
If, when we’re ill, we can still smile
it makes our meet and greets worthwhile,
if fun and laughter are combined
then illness can be undermined.
When I am down and feeling sick
a bit of humour does the trick.
