"Sic est vita" - Thus is Life
Tattoo this line challenge
Some things in life you can’t control,
Even if you would like.
Other things that happen conjure feelings of dislike,
Some things you fight with heart and soul,
“Sic est vita,”
Thus is life.
Life is a chain of lessons,
Some good, but some are bad.
Some are so gut-wrenching, you end up oh! so sad,
Your life seems full of concessions,
“Sic est vita,”
Thus is life.
And when you reach a ripe old age,
You scroll back on each life episode,
And try to ease your heavy load,
Ahead of your time to disengage,
“Sic est vita,”
Thus is life.
******
Till next time,
Calvin

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
