Poetry for Laughing out Loud: a Good Laugh Per Day Keeps Depression at Bay Richard O Jones

Publisher Marketing: This book is an auxiliary of my Ministry of Laughter and to that end, it is my privilege and appointed duty to sprinkle as much laughter into the world until a psych squad scraps me down and hauls me away kicking and laughing. Laughter can save you from danger. It's true! I once made a street robber laugh so hard that he left me along and robbed my grandmother standing next to me. But granny wasn't one to hold a grudge. Instead of staying angry with me, she later asked me to teach her some one-liners. However, I discovered, years later after she died, that I was the only family member not in her will. Humor has been known to revive dying parties, bring people out of depression, and even restore health. Humor should be shared. What is the benefit of knowing a good joke or funny poem and get anal retentive with it? Not only will you enjoy the easy to remember poems alone but you can share a favorite selection before a boring meeting begins, share with a hospitalized friend, or at a party setting because a good laugh is always welcome. After you purchase this book, the next time you're in the mood for cheer sit down and flip through a few pages, you'll be glad you did... is my prayer.
