"The 2000 Yard Stare", by Thomas Lea, 1944, WWII.


Poem Artwork

Like Zhuang-zi of China,
Omar Khayyam of Persia,
And Aristophanes of Greece
We seek salvation in laughter

That’s true .
We still cannot resist
A chance to laugh,
Yet sometimes

We are carrying the joke too far,
And laugh a little bit out of reason,
Thinking that there is always
Good reason for laugh, but is it?

Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on December 5, 2018
I guess that's why kings tended to have jokers in the court. For all the nasty that was done, having a jester to help make light of very serious things, helped the king and his court cope.

Today we have late-night jesters making fun of the court every evening after the kids go to bed. Isn't it wonderful?

Ron
