Someone started a vicious rumor
That laughter was immorality’s friend
Humor was okay if it never ruffled feathers
If it was sensitive to all and never crude in the end
Wake up your funny bone; let it breathe for awhile
Let laughter back into your heart
Sometimes it is the most colorful jokes
that help us focus on the world and what is tearing it apart
Humor is the universal teacher
It allows us to seek out what is true
In humor we see the best and worst of humanity
It opens up our minds to another view
Sometimes humor can be uncomfortable
It can make us cringe or turn red
Humor is not always a warm, fuzzy blanket
It’s a cold drink splashed in the face or a hard slap instead
When you shut down humor or take offense
You miss the message that it often relays
Beneath the jokes lie a hope for change
A hope that the world will see better days
