I try for the laugh

Not always.

  Life does seep in once in awhile.

Just a laugh.

Seeing the smile.

Watching a bit of the weight vanish.

You watch the change,

  and feel it yourself.

I was always a Carlin fan. Stephen Wright could be hilarious. The play on words so many comedians use can be amazing. Thank you, Jon.

I like this one. :)
Smiles and laughs are very healthy.
When I'm down I watch funny videos on youtube.
It makes me feel better.

I love comedy. I was able to go see Gabriel Iglesias over the weekend. He is known as Fluffy. One of the best parts was when he was talking to the crowd. He was over the amount of time he was required to perform. Still, he started some old jokes he was known for. With the interaction with the crowd, he lost his place in the joke. All of us knew the rest of it, and so did he. He was just having so much fun, he was having to slow down, and remember.

Cool poem. I like the simplicity with so much truth contained in it. Nice job.

I usually write more in my reviews, than I do in the actual poem. I like keeping it simple Thank you.
