   The pen he left on the desk
   …had writing on the side.
   It could have said,
   “Joe’s Cafe – Bad Manners – Good Grub”
   It could have said,
   “McLeod’s Insurance – No Risks – No Gains”
   But instead it said,
   “Life is God’s Mystery,
   Death, is His magic.”
   Now you see it
   Now you don’t
   The joke is always on me.
   I stole the pen.

   When I feel down
   about my sense of humor
   I remind myself
   that all bad puns
   need a home

   Laughter bounces all through the room,
   jokes and quotes fill up a balloon,
   then someone says something quite unrelated.
   The balloon filled with so much joy
   becomes rather limp and dismally deflated.
   Smiles turn down and eyes start to wander,
   they search for some way to start anew the banter.

   When the milk tipped and spilled,
   your eyes filled with smoke.
   But days from now you’ll sit among friends,
   and tell it like a joke.

   “Have you ever seen
   the squirrel that hides
   From crazy people?”
   I let the question fly.
   “Yes.” say most
   with a silly giggle
   That makes me smile a
   nd makes me wiggle.
   But my poor friend
   who’s initial is L,
   Answered a “No!”
   as her countenance fell.

   I am ill more often than well
   worried have become my folks
   but I feel rather swell
   and from this deathbed come life giving jokes

   I may pass on tonight or tomorrow
   but I would still find a way
   to ease others’ sorrow
   like the sun brightening the dark day

   some might glimpse a sight of me
   in laughter and smiles
   and find themselves chuckling “haha hehe”
   for a moment forgetting their trials

   Others may find me soaring upon wind’s sails
   a rush of excitement, adventure, fanning their ears
   new hope and growth despite past fails
   laughter and sunshine replacing cold tears

   Still many shall know me as an inner light
   warming their blood and bones
   expanding their sight
   whispering gently “you’re not alone.”

   Here’s a joke, I hope you laugh;
   heaven knows you need it.
   Now let’s split your pain and each take half;
   together we can beat it.
