Comedian
It starts with something small. A joke, a line
Leads to a spark, an ignition in the mind
We then feel something spread across the face
A smile. Just when we thought we had no time, no space
Space for joy in our oh so troubled days
That just seem to get more complex in so many countless ways
Laughter. It just seems to brighten our sorrows
It gives us a push, to try again tomorrow
Those who bring it to us are rarely recognized
The unsung heroes that brighten everyday of our not-so-simple lives
We go through our days, just waiting for the next
Some of us constantly looking flagrantly vexed
Then comes along somebody, whose quite the upper
Makes us forget about the bad grades, hard times, and the lost lovers
You think, “Hey, they’ve got problems, just like me.”
But how do they do it? Make life seem simple and care-free
Then you realize that they take it so much slower
Not living they day, just waiting ‘til it’s over
They take their tough times and give ‘em a spin
Because when they make you laugh, they know that they win
Every smile, every grin, every laugh they treasure
Because to them, your joy is a prize of no measure
To see your face lit. To know they made it so,
Brings them greater joy than some will ever know
So next time you hear someone tell a cheesy line or corny joke,
Remember. Your smile and laugh is worth more than every word ever spoke
