Have you ever TRIED to be Funny? (writing humor or anything is fun)


 


Trying to be funny is like trying not to get older,


It does not come like that; age is part of growth,


Funny is part of being you, being for the most part bolder,


Wish I could just get past the part where I seem to always feel colder…


 


For me to write funny stuff,


I must just let it flow, allowing my internal fluff,


To just overflow and stream out awash in the buff,


When in reality my humor is most of the time just more than a bluff…


 


Unless you do have the ability to write so funny,


Or to make babies and your wife happy like a bunny,


Unless you are infinitely happy on days that are not sunny,


Or maybe dark and depressed on days you have no money,


Then you will never know the pleasure of just writing for fun,


Making the world much happier in the process, rather than just you, the only one…

This is very true...when I TRY to be funny, I come across as simple-minded or something. On the other hand, if I say things before I think...you never know what will fly out of my mouth!!! You do funny SO well, I truly read your writes just to get a smile for the day!!

Some people, like the late Bob Hope take being funny very seriously. But then, he never got the girl. Humor is where you find it. Mine's under a rock someplace I forgot to look.

I have tried to do the humor thing myself, but it all comes out sounding stupid. I do the sad thing so much better because that is what I know and can relate to.

That is why we have people such as yourself who do it so well! Keep laughing, and keep writing!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx, Karen Lynn. :)
