Turn Up the Tomfoolery

When Tim Ferriss isn't teaching us how to gain muscle mass fast or work less hours,
he does things like this tomfoolery with his knowledge and powers.

I've been feeling that my life, lately,

could use a bit more tomfoolery.

The harder you work the more you need play,

so why not learn a new fun trick today?

It may not be cool to pull rabbits from top hats,

but it could be hip to hypnotize cranky cats.

And who doesn't like a good table side trick?

Some use silverware to look funny and slick.

Some celebrate other countries' holidays

to indulge their creative and silly ways.

Some pose silly for pictures they'll pose online.

(I do it to - to prove I've had a good time.)

Really, those moments of silliness are the best.

For me they hold the power to wipe out the rest.

I fear that my skills are lacking.  How about yours?

Shall we both add "learn new tricks" to our list of chores?

I don't know if I'll master the spoon-fork trick above,

but I'll try if I find some silverware I don't love.

I think the "not peeling" your hard boiled eggs secret

is a trick I could learn with less bodily harm and regret.

If I came across a blow horn rigged door,
it's likely I'd fall in fear to the floor.
Hopefully, I would laugh it off in the end
and be thankful to share a smile with a friend!

I've shared this poem at the D'Verse Poets Pub -
my favorite place to drink poetry up - glug, glug.
