PaD 33/365: The Silly Poet's Anthem

Coming to realize it's okay to be a silly poet, I wrote this one today!

------------------

THE SILLY POET'S ANTHEM

There is always a place for meter and rhyme,

But this is not the place, and this is not the time.

This is a poem for those who want a few chuckles (Chuckles?)

When life has them down and really sucks...les.

I will appreciate poetry for all it can be,

Both serious and deep as well as funny, I decree.

Humor is not a thing to be held ransom,

And so I recite The Silly Poet's Anthem.

I hereby do attest,

Not all poems must rhyme.

Not all poems must flow.

Not all poems must be serious.

Not all poems must even be good.

Nor must all poems make sense.

Not all poems must be written.

Not all poems are words at all.

Sometimes the best poem is the way you laugh.

I'd say, in fact, laughs to thought should be half to half,

For as important as it is to decipher life's facts,

It's just as important to sit back and chillax.

And I swear, I'd totally put my money where my arse is,

To say that laughter is a mind's best catharsis.

So go ahead, laugh, smile, giggle, chuckle,

Once you do, you'll most surely be in luck...le.
