"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?

 Reviews of "A Good Reason for Laugh"
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
