ETA: It was brought to my attention that I neglected to attach the poem…it’s here now. Sorry about that!

Laughing is one of my favorite things to do. It’s good exercise, right? It’s also hard to make yourself do when you don’t feel it. In fact, I think making yourself cry is probably easier than making yourself laugh.

So, this fortune is right up there with “You’re more attractive when you smile” for me. Yeah, it’d be great to laugh everyday, but life sometimes doesn’t allow for that.

With that said, maybe my sonnet will sense.

Make sure to laugh everyday…it’s good for your health.

Lifestyle Choices

Why not just laugh and sing and play all day?
It’s good for your health, your outlook, and life.
Take a moment, is all I want to say,
for merriment and to avoid the strife.

Love and life are difficult? Oh come on!
 I’m sure you can find a reason to laugh…
Just find the funny stuff on which to fawn—
wait, I’ll find it myself on your behalf.

Look, here’s a puppy playing on a meme,
a cat in a bag, a man falling down.
There is plenty more along the same theme!
Use stuff like this to wipe away your frown.

A giggle or two is all that it takes.
Laughter costs nothing, and fixes heartaches.
