A Smile in the Dark

It’s so easy to cry,

In such horrid times,

But to prolong such pain,

Can become a crime,

So, sit down, get comfy,

Get ready for some mirth,

No more tears today to make,

A lake upon this Earth,

Let’s have a joke, shall we,

So that we can break the ice,

To stir some joyous rumbling,

Turning unpleasantness in to nice:

 

Ahem! “What do you call a pavement/sidewalk, that is used by garishly confident women?” “Broadway!”

 

The obvious question to ask,

Is, “did that make you laugh?”

If it did not, I apologise,

And will do better in the re-draft,

But if it did, then good for us,

We need to smile in the dark,

To fuel our collective spirit,

In order to leave our mark,

A testament of our survival,

Through this pandemic malaise,

This darkness won’t last forever,

So, prepare for better days.
