FOR SMILIN' OUT LOUD When life seems too befuddlin’ Take time to do some spuddlin’ Go splashin’ while it’s puddlin’ Go barefoot in the rain. When things are poor to middlin’ And both your thumbs are twiddlin’ Stand on your head while fiddlin’ For smi-l-in' out loud!! When all about are snigglin' Get all your toes a'wigglin' Then soon you will be gigglin' Your doldrum’s sure to wane. When things get willy-nilly Do something brash and silly Eat ice-cream with your chili For smi-l-in’ out loud! Whenever you feel maudlin Watch baby ducklings waddlin’ There’s always one that’s dawdlin’ That’s no time for disdain When life is too befuddlin’ Make time to go out spuddlin’ That’s splashin’ while it’s puddlin’ For smi-l-in’ out loud!!!

Oh, Nan; You have put me in the greatest fun mode! LOL! Your poem is FULL of the greatest wisdom of all, laughter IS the best medicine. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this, especially the little guys a dancing their silly dance. Today I will definitely remember to be silly for no reason at all. Thanks a bunch. Ellie #:^]> 02 |

Great words of wisdom, with an important spoken with same poetic flow as that great philosopher Winnie the Pooh. I feel all happy after your poem  ------------------------ "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? " Douglas Adams. "Here chewing your tail is joy" Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time".

Hi Nan. Cute poem here. You and Doreen seem to have a good thing going with the fun poetry lately. I love reading it...Geesh..That is when I get the chance to get on here anymore. Sending late Birthday wishes. ((HUGS))Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

ohmygosh what WAS in your birthday cake...er, ice cream...well, maybe it was the chili... but if I see you start to waddle like a duck...or playing in your twinkies, I'll be sure to stand behind the guys in the white coats... Loved it! As anyone can see, you had a wonderful birthday bash! |
