You Tube Tuesday - Laughter Therapy

Laugh Me Tall

by Rachel Hoyt

A laugh a day

To keep pain away?

Sometimes I need more

But it isn't really a chore.

Just a laugh, or two, or three, or four,

And I'm standing taller than I've stood before.

The cutest ugly duckling

Who lives solely for cuddling.

A pillar of innocent beauty.

This swaddled sloth is a cutie!

You Tube Tuesday - Crazy McDonalds Rice Mix

Taste Bud Suicide

by Rachel Hoyt

In my day we mostly mixed soda,

like the recipe came from Yoda,

but things always get taken to new levels,

'cuz deep down we're curious little devils.

You Tube Tuesday - Anonymous Taps FBI Conference Call

Fame-a-nymity

I never imagined "Anonymous"

could become someone famous,

but when you tap an FBI call

where the U.S. and U.K. tell all,

then share it with the world for kicks,

you'll be loved by both hipsters and hicks.

This is a conference call to discuss some cases:

mostly Anonymous and something called LulzSec.
I wish I could have seen the FBI's faces
when Anonymous released the rec.

Thank you, Gawker for bringing me this news!

YTT - Dr. Seuss Burning Man

Out in the desert, there is a place

that brings a smile to many a face -

Where alter egos abound,

And Much unique art is found,

Where people live wild and free

And roam dirt streets filled with glee.

When Dr. Seuss wrote of places we'd go,

I definitely think he imagined this show.

Comically Crunching

Caution: this video has a scary happy ending

that shows someone learning the hard way

that taunting appendages may need mending

after an owner causes his or her pet dismay.

You Tube Tuesday - Hedgehog Humbug

To make a cup of bah-humbug, here’s what you need:
an adorable idea and a gigantic pile of greed.
Take that cuteness and dangle it in front of the masses
then only give it out in teeny tiny splashes.

I felt a little upset after trying to make hedgehogs sing
and feeling disappointed at the results it did bring.

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 -

Not-So-Super Supercomputers

Sometimes I think the "kids" these days

forget their phones are little computers.

As soon as it shows its imperfect ways

they want to trash it like techie polluters.

Like Cookie Monster, the next generation

wants what it wants, how it wants, when it wants.

I feel like I'm having an old age revelation

as failure to meet expectations inevitably daunts.
