The Laughter Of Life

This is my life

Find the humor

I was defense

I marched in parades

I drive over the speed limit

With a great big smile

Knowing she’s at my side

This is my life

The one who I want

She does not give a damn

The one who wants me

I hate

The one I need

Doesn’t exist

Laugh

I spend dollars on art

Because I need too

To prevent lovers from hating each other

No one understands

The thin line

Of an artist’s life

Laugh

Sometimes I wish

Other times I seek

Sometimes I wait

Other times I fall

But all in all

It’s a mystery

They think I want

A beauty queen

An art freak

A lover

A human

Laugh

I get more romance

With my cat

And the moon

Then I do with

You

Or a paintbrush

Laugh

They think I need a shoulder

To cry upon

Reality

I offer my shoulder

For all of you

Laugh

I’ve been ticketed

I’ve been in jail

I’ve been an exhibitionist

I’ve been in love

I’ve been rescued

I’ve been hurt

I’ve been afloat

I’ve been flying

I’ve been under water

I’ve been upside down

I’ve been fetal

I’ve been dancing

I’ve been going down

I’ve been returned

I’ve been burned

I’ve been sucked

I’ve been forgotten

I’ve been mailed

I’ve been lost

I’ve been sleeping

I’ve been wanted

I’ve been yours

Laugh

I’ve been laughed at

I’ve laughed with

I’m a laugher

Come feel ridiculous with me...
