I was sitting on my cloud
Looking down at the world,
God came by.
“You look miserable” he said,
“Would you like to chat”
“Yes” I said. “Pull up a cloud”.
“Well, what’s the problem?” he asked,
I looked at him and replied
“It is the world, all seems to be bad,
On the news all you hear is tragedy”
“Well that’s what you want to hear about,
Isn’t it?”, He said.
“Surely there must be good news!” I replied,
“There is, but nobody wants that”.
“I do, my friends do, surely most people do”.
“Ah yes, they do, but that does not sell,
Good news does not sell papers”.
“What about being happy then,
If you look most people are happy,
It is only the few that bring the bad,
Yet they get all the headlines!”
“I know that, but that is what they want,
Those in power want you worried,
Want you to depend on them,
So keeping you happy does not work,
Does not work for them”.
“Surely they must have some fun,
They must have some sense of humour”.
“They do, they laugh at you, you are their fun!”
God got up to go so I asked him,
“Do you have a sense of humour?
Many people think that you are serious all the time”,
As he moved away, he stopped and looked at me.
A smile made his face beam,
“Of course I have a sense of humour,
After all I accept you!”

Oh lol, good write Gold. And he accepts my singing too? Yes, but not my whisky-watering! heehee.
If he accepts me he will accept anybody.
Is there any whisky-watering goes on there?!
Thanks ANDY ~ A great reminder of WHY it is and HOW it is ! When People ask me "Does GOD have a sense of HUMOR ?" I tell them to look at a Frog and and Owl and a Naked Man full frontal with his hands in the Air ~ all funny without trying ! I asked GOD What about WOMAN ?" "Ah He replied ~ She is no laughing matter !" Yours BRIAN
Of course God has a sense of humour but many people do not realise this.
Thank you Michael.
So right - the news is always so depressing - where does all the good news go?
It is there but nobody wants to mention it otherwise we would stop being depressed.
Nearest we get is love i guess. Love teaches us so much too and one of its lessons is to laugh at life, my life, your life, their lives.
Nice light hearted lesson you preached today minister.
Thank you da, they are just passing thoughts that come to me and I find them easier to put into these conversations.
Lol
Thank you, laughter is good.
I do love your conversations with God, Goldie! You bring up a serious matter, but finish with humor. Very nice!!!
Thank you Fred, I enjoy writing them, they are a way of getting a point over but in a light-hearted way.
