To find humor in that instant when your bubble has been burst Though it seems that since an infant things have gone from bad to worst Riding waves of vast depression on a ship that's made of sorrow May well be your one transgression is the pain you choose to borrow From those days that never seem to work out like you planned Trade the ship-wreck of your dreams for a pocket full of sand That somehow filled your trousers from that isle just out of reach Or remain a hapless browser in a life that's just a beach Let's accept the imperfections knowing they will always be Just as present in your future as in mine it's most likely And as a child in a sand-box that's been over-run by ants Drop those Dr. Denton's *and teach 'em how to dance *Just a cautionary note : This will necessitate changing the sand , but the neighbor's cat was probably using it anyway . Doc |

LOL Doc Great poem, and so true. Humor is a great solution to depression, as long as there is a way to turn sorrow into ironic laughter -- There is always hope. What - those lumps in my sandbox are cat poop? -- I thought they were last years mud pies! ~netswan |
