Humour should be simple and straightforward without targetting anyone

Life is funny Purple
when we allow ourselves to look at it that way

I laugh at myself and see my own faults...
...more than that of others! Humor shouldn't require victims. If so, then it isn't humor, it's what's known as a cheap shot!

my daughter loves to laugh at me when I fall, but I think it could be a nervous laugh

Right on my darlin' Sweetest Purple...write on!  This says it all, your well written reasons and account for being careful of humanity ~ we're all fragile, no matter Elyse

Agreed, Jenn!
The only one who should make fun of somebody is themselves.  I do that fairly often, self-deprecating humor being something I caught from the Swedish side of my family.

Great poem and  much needed message.  So many times we hurt others thoughtlessly,  It is not worth a laugh to produce a tear dear Mermaid,  As always well written and lovely.  Take care of you
