I may be crazy, but I love writing these things. I've already published a small book of them, and I just finished my series of one for every letter of the alphabet. I'm stopping for a while, but who knows when I will be inspired again. My main point is that everyone, especially seniors, should try writing poems, but not necessarily rictameters. It's fun, and often revealing. Marlys Styne (Seniorwriter) I’m glad you found and used my poem, “Laughter Joy.” I may be crazy, but I love writing these things.

On laughter…. It assists learning and creativity too. Make you pupils laugh and they will learn better. It’s more pleasant for all than fear, another emotion that can help you learn.

I read it in an aviation tradepaper. They have a lot of funny airline stories. Here's another: The German Air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short tempered lot. They not only expect a pilot to know his gate location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. A USAirways plane listened to the following exchange between the German Controllers and a British Airways 747., call sign Speedbird 206. Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt Tower: Speedbird 206 clear of active runway." Tower: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven." The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop. Tower:" Speedbird Don't you know where you are going?" Speedbird: Stand by, Tower, I'm looking up our ground location now." Tower: (With arrogant impatience) Haven't you ever been to Frankfurt before?" Speedbird 206 : "Yes, eleven times in 1944 in the dark.. And I didn't land." Hello Geri,

A sense of the ridiculous is what has kept me going through many ups and downs in life. Excuse me for asking Nancy but that is so funny (!) is it a true incident? I can't imagine the nice but very 'sober' Dutch airport saying anything like that!! That’s a nice poem and so true, a good laugh is a great tonic.
