After falling down, do you look around? C/C?

After falling down

Do you look around

Before you check to see what's broken?

Then stand in pain, 

Composure regain

And grumble "I was only jokin' "

Have you stepped in poop

Or spilled your soup 

Down the front of your shirt or dress?

Ever mess up like a fool

And try to act cool

And be tragically lacking finesse?

Ever drive through town

Get cut-off by some clown

Who ignores that you're even there?

Do you let your rage linger

Respond with a finger

Or just give back an evil glare?

Are we getting delirious 

Taking life way too serious

Always responding with stress or rage

Perhaps laughing gas would do

For some, one dose; some two

Wars of merriment we could wage

What it would look like, I can only guess

If it was joy that we suppress

Instead of anger when we finally snap

Attacking with a smile

Giggling all the while

Experiencing laughter without holding back.

    Great write! I would probably need about six whiffs of laughing gas! And then some! This is really infectious, you sound like a very well balanced individual. Thanks for sharing that, it was quite brilliant and very original.

    Very good fun poem , I'm guilty of some of your poem

    Ever drive through town

    Get cut-off by some clown

    Who ignores that you're even there?

    Do you let your rage linger

    Respond with a finger

    Or just give back an evil glare?

    This was an amusing write, but one that had a message and I'm sure most people will be able to relate to it. I've managed to chill out quite a bit since I gave my job up but I can remember being really irritated by some drivers when I had long journeys to make. Yes it would be great fun laughing at everything and attacking with a smile. Is it going to happen? (lol). Your rhyme scheme is interesting and I enjoyed the read. Thank you

    Beautiful. simply beautiful. The rhyme scheme is awesome, and the message of it is pretty understandable. Embarrassment and anger are things everyone shares at some point in their life, and I like how the last two stanzas are a good message that remind us that happiness is the best medicine. Very excellent. Great job :)

    Ha ha ha! Loved this! If only people WOULD react with a sense of humor, life would be so much easier.

    You put me in a great mood for my first read of the morning, Darlin'! Thank You!

  • yeah, cause I do not want anyone to see me crying

    and also wonder when I see the blood

    if anyone is going to help me up

    and find out that I have it in myself

    bleeding and cut, a storm in my gut to

    call on Him who sends me angels who get

    me out of so much danger

    and give me the strength to make it the length to

    smiles, and jokes and good humor

    ...

    I really like what you wrote here, we all take ourselves just a wee tad too seriously most of the time.

    that is what kills relationships and drowns friendships.

    cya.

    Hey

    I'm sorry you got yourself all fumbled up.

    ...when I saw, I said Oh Oh...bad timing JC.

    Then I told my friend...he's only joking

    and he doesn't know who he's joking with

    ..so I saw you were frying to be thrunny

    but it was too late. You see....telling a great joke, well it's all in the timing, and the knowing.

    I believe you, cause I know.

    ...*sigh*

    I look around to make sure no one is staring at me...

    ....if they are....I act as if I'm seriously injured...

    ...ya know...

    ...so I don't get embarrassed.
