Do You Want To Laugh With Us?

would you wear this clowns negligee?

could you see yourself in gray sack cloth?

have you pushed everything in your world

to the tune of mall music?

 

Can you sleep in an empty  ally way?

have you  been chest deep in rubbish?

have you ever looked the world over

without luxurious images?

Thanks Jeanette

The absurdity of excess leisure you nailed it.I do laugh at people that embrace those things that weigh them down.With a light heart we together. In ink, Dabbler
