Humor feeds those parts of man
That hope sweet dreams come true
And woman feels she finally can
Do what she wants to do.
Anyone is happy when
Laughter lightens air.
Giggles entertain us then
And we no longer care.
This poem is a simple one.
It rhymes and sounds like verse.
I hope that now you know it’s done
It don’t make matters worse.

for some reason I hear this spoken in a cowboy’s drawl…not even sure which cowboy but I hear him!

It is written in common meter which may be typical of some cowboy ballads. My own accent is US mid-western, near Chicago.

Bang on, brother–for we need both levity & a little madness to keep our spirits afloat. This common meter has the feel of a limerick; smile.

Both common meter and limericks seem simple to write and potentially lighthearted. I guess they could also be about more somber subjects. Thanks!
