A Little Humor To Brighten Your Day

There really is no appropriate classification for this. Sometimes you just need a little humor to make sense of the world.

The ultimate key to happiness is not money.
Well sometimes it is, especially when you want a new toy.

If the key to happiness is knowing when to walk away,
Why is it then, that when I walk away, they follow?

I've been told that life is not perfect. It's what you make of it.
I agree with the not perfect. What the hell does what you make of it got to do with it?

If love is the answer,
then why so many hate?

If time is on your side,
then why is it that it passes so fast?

I've seen the birds fly south,
I've never seen them fly north. 
Where the hell did all the birds come from?

I've been trying to figure out the question,
'Have you ever seen the light?'
Yes, I've see the light. I'm looking at it right now.
What's so special about the light?

There was a movie called 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'
What happened to 'The Pretty'?

Why is it the grass is always greener on the other side?

If the grass is greener on the other side, doesn't the grass have to be brown somewhere? Where?

When I grew up the solar system had nine planets. Somehow, during that time, they decided that Pluto failed to qualify. What are the qualifications for being a planet?

My friends keep telling me that having kids was the greatest joy of their life. If that is the case, why is it I see them yelling at their kids every time I see them? Is there joy in yelling? Can't I just go to a football game for that?

Why is it that some people will ask you if they can ask you a question before they actually ask you the real question?

Why is it called politically correct? Politics never solved anything.

Can anyone name one Britney Spears song that does not have the word 'Baby' in it? Me either!

If laughter is the best medicine, why is it the doctor's never write a prescription for laughter?

How is it that time flies, but never on Monday?

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

I love this! We need poetry like this in such negative times. Loved the line 'is there joy in yelling?'. Made me smile a lot. And also very clever, too Thanks, Chris:)

[Chris A Jones]

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

To me, this is not overly comedic . . . perhaps it's based a little too much on true life which isn't exactly funny to me. You've made many interesting & thought-provoking observations that seemingly make fun of human nature & other things that can sometimes make no sense. I realize many think this is funny, but maybe our world is just in too sad a place lately. Minus the preset expectation of being funny, this is mostly just an interesting string of pondering ideas that might give us a peak into how your mind ticks! *wink! wink!*

Real life is funny. Having said that, this was not really for the purpose of review or to showcase work. It was only meant to give a few laughs.

In any case, can't please everyone. Don't think this is giving you a peek into how my mind works. I am far to complex to put everything into my writing on here.

Chris, not only laughed, but also chuckled and smiled. Cute idea for a write. Valentine

[Chris A Jones]

Thanks. I'm glad you found a little humor.

I've never gotten well from laughter, but it does make me feel better...somehow. Weird.
Well, this little piece did make me smile. I enjoyed it very much.
If Britney Spears drives you nuts with her "baby" try listening to Haley Reinhart sing Creep on youtube. It has nothing to do with anything in this story, or anything else for that matter. I just like the song.

[Chris A Jones]

Actually I'm a fan of Britney. I just find it funny that most of her early songs include that word. To be fair she has started to get away from that though.

The way I heard it, they decided Pluto wasn't big enough to be a planet, and decided it was an asteroid.
Too bad intelligent life isn't a planet requirement, or else they would have to proclaim all nine of them asteroids, hahaha

[Chris A Jones]

lol! I suppose that is true!
