Much praise goes to motherhood,
Stars and stripes and apple pie,
Picket fences, well-mowed lawns
And steeples white and high.

More praise should go to antic folk,
With their wry, ironic ways,
Who find a source of laughter
In what other people praise.

Show what's praised by average folk
To anyone endowed with wit
And see how quickly they can find
A way to make a joke of it.

Seeing just how funny
Things that we hold dear can be
Should remind us that we may be fools
To take them all so seriously.

Well .... we sure get the opportunity to praise the laughter of the 'antics' of many here. These pages brim with humor.
Perhaps you have read our own WayOutWalt ?
LongJohn ? Balladeer ? Rex ? ToeRag ?
Just to mention a few of our 'antics'.
Enjoy ....
and I enjoyed your poem.
