Silly 'n' Sad

Silly 'n' Sad

 

OK I can rhyme silly

At times you'll think 'ye gad!'

This only is a part of me

I also can rhyme sad

 

Rhyme's my tool of versing choice

It's lilting on the ear

Can carry anything I want

From sadness, hope, to cheer

 

Let's not forget the humour that

I give it, to go steer

Round on WOL producing smiles

(Let's all go gave a beer....)

 

Me mate Skip......

 

No guessing his drink of choice.......

 

Drinks me under the table

Ever since arriving on WOL 2 years ago I have been pushing for more humour on the site. Long-term WOLers will know this. Of course there needs to be a balance but to me the balance is a little off-kilter.

Then again writing humour does not come easy to many of you. I know, your leaving the gap for me to fill with my happy-go-lucky stuff. Skip says thump..thump. thanks on my behalf......

There's gotta be a balance
Of verse on Write Out Loud
Too much dark and serious
Ain't good for any crowd

I try to brighten everyone up......

Or -
Spare the cost of a nurse
With a prescription of verse.
Laughter is the best medicine, they say,
Better to have some every day.
