Laughter is the best med

I've just read a few of the poems

Written down on this very wall

Those that are comic, are always a tonic

They're the ones I enjoy most of all


'Cause there's nothing funny about PD

Right down to my face that's just flat

So a light hearted story ,is not one that bores me

Is there anything wrong with just that?


Poetry can be a strong medium

To express thoughts from A through to Z

I find that I write, in the middle of the night

When I can't get to sleep in my bed


The next day can't read what I've written

Getting dressed is becoming a chore

So a light hearted rhyme, can't be such a crime

There'll always be room for some more


Take my meds have a cup and look forward

To the words that you might put down

As I sit here and strain, most times it's in vain

Put a smile on my face not a frown

I like a bit of laughter. But then I like a bit of tragedy too. Without shade there is no light

Laughter really is the best medicine, I heartily recommend two loud guffaws and several sniggers per day , topped off with a good belly, laugh just before bed. Not forgetting a good few giggles when ever possible. more power to your pen Keith
