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.

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.
