A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times
I am staring at a blank piece of paper, wondering what to write. Where do I begin? My mind begins to wander- pleasant thoughts of Disney's Fantasia dance in my head. The dancing hippopotamus comes to mind, and this made me laugh. The result: I penned a poem on the hippopotamus from which a chapbook was born: The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times. One cannot imagine a world without humor. Without humor, the world will be dark, cold, and a sad place, tragically lacking joy, cheerfulness, and laughter.
In challenging times, I chose humor. During the Pandemic, I had to deal with my bladder cancer. In my struggle not to get depressed or dwell in negativity, to find solace, contentment, and peace, I chose to seek out beauty and laugh. In search of happiness, the humor worked its charm, resulting in a treasure chest of joy. So, I wrote my chapbook, The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times and discovered humor even among the hippopotami!
Humor is medicine. During rough times, humor will help lighten and lessen physical and mental anxiety.
Humor is the Best Form of Medicine
Humor is the best form of medicine. It helped me get through cancer, and a pandemic, as I laughed my way back to my health. To help me cope with my condition, cancer, and the pandem- ic, I wrote a humorous chapbook: The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times. Winner of the Golden Literary Titan Award, May 2023. Let us all laugh together, as we need more cheerfulness and joy in this sick, sad, and sorry world. Let me share that joy and humor with you and your audience. Let us laugh together. Cannot imagine a world without humor!
