I was sitting on my cloud,
Minding my own business.
Just contemplating,
Just contemplating contemplation,
When God arrived.
“Can I sit on the cloud next to you?” he asked,
“Of course you can” I said,
“It’s a free Universe”,
“That’s profound” he said,
“No not profound, just a bit of fun” I replied.
“I gave you that” he said,
“Gave me what?”
“Fun” he said.
“How come if you gave us fun”, I replied
“I don’t see many laughing in that world”
“You are not looking hard enough” he said,
“All you can see is the bad and the sad”
“But that is all I hear about!” I shouted.
“Ah” he said, “You are looking at the news”,
“All the news does is show the bad and the sad”
“But it must be right” I replied,
“It says so on the news!”
“Look passed the news” He said,
“There are so many happy people”
“So many having fun, many more than you see on the news”,
“But why is there so much sorrow” I replied,
“Because people forget what I gave them” He said,
“So what have they forgotten?” I asked,
“They have forgotten I gave them a sense of humour” He replied,
“Don’t be daft I said, we all know that you do not have a sense of humour”,
“Of course I do.” He replied,
“I have accepted you!”
