Sometimes humor may seem kind of silly.
Positive joking can be seriously funny.
Ears enjoy hearing from friendly homies.
Life’s too short to exclude it totally.
When babies are tickled it makes them happy.
Lightly touches can relieve pain temporarily.
Words that tickle adds to jocularity, and
People like their ears tickled by a good homily.
Tickling soothes hearts like wine medically.
Chuckling the mind eases depression easily.
It is gently assuaged by friends and family.
So, lighten the soul and celebrate jubilee,
And tickle joyously to express yourself fully.
Rejoice in Christ’s redemption unalterably,
As Joy awaits you in God’s Kingdom endlessly.

Sorry if the Lord may inconvenience you,
Maybe a fiery furnace may turn you blue.
Perhaps it is too dangerous in the lion’s den.
Or washing in the Dirty River of Jorden.
Nevertheless, we enjoy our comfort zones.
We relax with ease minus the moans.
We recline to watch our favorite game,
But nudity on T.V. may cause us shame.
Bottoms up with those mixed drinks at the founts,
And we love mouthwatering meals at Restaurants.
But, thank the Lord for His colossal triumph,
as we rely on His grace with coaxing comfort.
We are created to enjoy God’s Great Creation,
To see tall mountains and roaring oceans, and
watch the colorful red flowers waving in motion.
We have got it made in the shade, but
do not get greedy with that ace of spades.
Rest with ease, there’s medicine for the sneeze.
We must not worry when the head is hoary.
Le us Eat, drink, be merry, and enjoy life fully!
But remember thy Creator, or you will be sorry.
