A Funny Business, This

'For today's prompt, write a funny poem.Keep in mind that funny isn't always "ha-ha" funny.For instance, your poem could include a funny smellor talk about a funny (or weird) person or situation.And if you've ever hit your funny bone,that pain is not making anyone laugh.So write a funny poem, whether it's for a laugh or not.' The other evening it was man (woman) against natureas the lawn rollers showed up before I was quite finished rakingup pine cones etc.! Nature won and woman got drenchedbut lawn is raked and rolled! Happy dance! There is something exhilarating about racing against a storm!Akin to the exhilaration of being surprised by a kind of joywe can only discover as we grow older!The kind of joy only humble gratitude grants!Gratitude for life's simple things.Like...Sunsets...(an hour after the storm) Supper... and so much more! A funny business this;The older that we getThe more we find joy in what is;This, not forgotten yet 😂 A funny business this;The sense that humour grantsLike nicknaming Father Time's kissReliable Romance Let's laugh; be young at heartLet's refuse to bemoanThe canvas that showcases artThat rankles/wrinkles skin and bone Let's not waste happinessIn worry or regretFor every day leaves one day lessOf reasons to forget  😶 Yes, there are pains and achesSocial life turns into Gatherings at funerals and wakesAs death collects its due Honing humble surpriseA funny business this;The best of life cut down to sizeIs Gratitude's sweet bliss © Janet Martin Ps.90:12Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
