Quote  By William Arthur Ward:
A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance
to your steps, as you walk the tightrope of life.

We were young and filled with responsibilities
new to town, married and in our early twenties
My husband needed surgery and I didn't drive
with two small kids I had to find a way to jive

When I got to the hospital I bought him a souvenir
one big fury ape with a grin that said "I'm here "
He wasn't in bed so I put the ape in bed instead
a nurse came in and almost fell over with dread

He came out of the washroom and found  it there
when it comes to humor we make quite a pair
He soon recovered  and the ape came live with us
I took driving lessons and now I don't take the bus

This is a true story of how I used humor to cope
years have come and gone still I climb the *****
Using humor in a crisis can surely help my dear,  
it can ease the soul and help you when you fear.
