Just for a Laugh.

Do whatsoever it takes
to get you through the day.
Laugh a little,
sing a song,
watch your children play.

Light a candle, say a prayer.
If it works for you, its great.
If it does no harm
and you yearn to do it,
don't procrastinate.

Go on out and grab life.
Tickle it till it squeals.
Roll it in sugar
and lick your lips.
Imagine how good that feels.

So do whatever it takes,
to light you on your way.
In your own,
inimitable style
go set aside a day.

Fill it full of laughter
enjoy the response there'll be,
as you pack it with giggles,
then share them around
for all your friend to see.

That which is done in the name of laughter is rarely regretted ....
