"A matter of laughing with and not at"

Transcendental Sonnet #1464: Absurd But Not Ridiculous for the Mysterious Lady Life is absurd but not ridiculous A matter of laughing with and not at To wonder if the joke might be on us But laughing to learn through tears as we turn To have some fun before turning is done Apart from all the fluster and the fuss Of what and who that do not get it yet What we must turn a time or two to learn Who remember three or four to forget For five or six before we crash and burn The joke on everything and everyone A laughing matter anyway at that A matter of laughing with and not at Life is absurd but not ridiculous +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXI
