Being 30

Oh what a pleasure it is to be,
The age of 30 beginning with a number 3.
After all good things come in 3s,
Or even 4 as in our family.

To celebrate with a party can be fun,
So long as you don't leave any one out among the young.
Friendly faces all around,
Reminding one of what is dear to one's heart.
Good food and fine wine,
And how about the company, all good cheer.

Music is always dearest to my heart,
Moves me in ways that words can not express.
These are the best things I can enjoy,
A whole new decade to enjoy!

Laughter

Rolling in the isles, or chortling at the screen,
Laughter creates happiness, as best as it would seem.
We all love the Hollywood greates,
Such as Charlie Chaplin or Laurel and Hardy.
They worked their magic in silent form,
Like Buster Keaton stunts to perform.

In the modern era comedy is constantly changing,
Becoming more and more surreal.
But what I like the best is the old slapstick,
Like John Cleese in Fawlty Towers,
Or Blazing Saddles with Mel Brookes,

The comedy spoof always makes me laugh.
