Now that’s funny

Loving a

betrayer?

Ridiculous.

Ludicrous

and

deranged

to think

the spots

will change. 

But if you

slipped on a

banana

and broke your

fat arsicle?

Now,

that

would

be

farcical.

Persevere

You can't stop trying

Obstacles 

makes your victory everlasting

You can't stop laughing

farcical moments

becomes history

If  you don't give up

people will laugh at

what gave you pain.

Oops

A trip down the stairs

A spill of a drink

A fumbled word

A wrong person

The tangle of happenings in

A farcical day

A GREY MOOD

We hurry away to the end, dear friend,

Of this sad little farce called existence,

And are sure that the future will bring one thing,

...the grave

(Ella Wheeler Wilcox)

Once

Farcical moments

Become treasured memoirs.

Melancholy dances

Turn to ashes. 

Laughter, a 

Time machine.

Love,

Now history.

Stress, work, stress, work,

This is life.

No time for 

Farcical moments.

Fools and Lovers

She claimed that she loved me. I claimed to believe...in a farcical reality. We make things fit our needs. That is what fools do.

Society

What's wrong is right and what's right is wrong

You say differently you don't belong

You're a bigot, your opinion doesn't stand

The media is a farcical joke, destroying man.

They Screwed US

The election is nothing but farce

Each of the prospects an arse.

Trump with his hair

Clinton a scare,

And Bernie's ideals hard to parse.

Never Trust a Clown

A hitchhiker took a ride on a clown car,

He was later found dead, by the bank

Police only discovered the weapon so far:

A water pistol. Loaded with blanks.
