Laughter Let humor be a test for thee A wave and crest to set you free Or drag your feet along the flaw Without a hearty loud Guffaw Laughter has a prickly pose Like thorns upon a lovely rose Some will see hilarious And some will see nefarious For subtle is the fine rely Even though it is a lie. There’s humor in the very core Within each wave that washes shore. For laughter is like chicken soup It cures the whoop of the croup. And I would say a laugh a day Will alternate the apples way So activate your funny bone And push away the placement stone. [This message has been edited by Seymour Tabin (09-01-2002 12:01 PM).] |

I think my laugh nefarious with humour quite precarious and yet I get my funny bone all my poetic thinks to hone if it doesn't make you smile perhaps it wasn't worth the while or if it doesn't make you think I know it was a waste of ink so add some spice into the brew and I will laugh along with you. Sy look what you made me do; you know I am not prone to poetic replies, usually just prone.  Wonderful poem Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Ok, Mr. Chicken Soup..... We used to have a guy at work that recorded a repeating tape of chickens clucking, over and over and over again.... He did this for MY BIRTHDAY.... Always got a laugh out of me... Anywhooo, to make a short story shorter... I read your poem, I noticed the use of the word floor and guffaw... Question, ??? Are you a transplant from up NAWTH. You know, NORTH...spelled the other way...and said...well...differently.... So, Floor must be FLAAW, or something like that... There, did I help the grins any??? B. |

Seymour darling heart see how quickly I scamper back to sit beside you and drink you in. I’m sorry I wasn’t in yesterday, things got rather hectic, but I’m here now and as always totally entranced by your wordy touch. Just when I believe you have spun all the magic you possibly can you do it again and I’m left wondering at the apparent ease you have in crafting something so wonderful. I love this darling heart utterly utterly love it The sound of laughter on the breeze Shakes the wind and stirs the trees Then when it slides into my heart It makes those fears all depart Then its catching me in its flow It compels me to let go Then all at once I’m flying free Soaring in its liberty Laughter carries my cares away Makes me smile and my heart play Laughter covers my soul with glee No strife or pain can harm me Reach out for laughter’s hold mirth’s hand Maybe then you’ll understand Awesome writing my dear friend absolutely awesome  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

After whooping and gagging and choking for weeks, I find I've been at the wrong doctor and pharmacy. *S* Laughter is indeed a healer... and this is wonderful, Seymour. *S* |
