A Few Little Rays

People will fool you.
We do have the capacity for treating one another well.
A silly joke can be worth its weight in gold.
Way more than its weight actually.
“That was a heavy duty joke man”, said the unsuspecting passer by.
Smiles were exchanged from a safe distance and both parties went on their merry way
with a few rays of sweet sunshine in their watch pockets.
Loosened hips made them able to love their mates real goooood upon returning home.
When a butterfly flaps its wings
the ripples in the pond travel
around the globe
knocking their blues on their azure asses.
No, where not talking ’bout the “bad” ripples just now.

I enjoyed this...

very much. I get the idea. Give someone a little boost, a bit of happy and it makes ripples to give some happiness to others. I like this plan! We should all follow it! ~ Geezer.
