When a fool cries
he is a laughing stock.
When a fool cries
Integrity is gone.
When a fool cries
Credibility is shot.
When a fool cries
Realisation hits home.
When a fool cries
We say we saw it coming.
When a fool cries
All hope dies.
When a fool cries
Loneliness takes hold.
When a fool cries
We stand back and watch.
When a fool cries
We want him to stop.
When a fool cries
We want him to go away.
When a fool cries
We might ask why?
When a fool cries
We look the other way.
When a fool cries
Who now will tell the joke?
A horse walks into a bar and the barman says: Hey why the long face?
Because he won’t be seen again!
Not in 2013
Happy New Year to all my readers, I hope the fun and foolishness continues into 2014. May you all have the best year, good health and write more wonderful words for me to read.
Michael.

I guess it is already 2014 in your part of the world, Michael, so happy new year to you! May your dreams come true!
Thanks Gabriella, same back at you. So far 2014 has gone well, then again it is only nearly 6am. I fully recommend it.
Cool poem! the like button isn’t loading for me this morning on any blogs it seems, so if it doesn’t after I post this comment, then take this as a like. Happy New year Michael!! 🙂 🙂
Its not working here either. Thanks Helen, Happy New Year to you. See you soon.
It’s probably a wordpress glitch then – may not get fixed for a day or two given most people are on leave! 🙂
Lets hope so, people will think we don’t like them.
Nice poem Michael. Hope your New Year is full of light and love! 🙂
Thanks Jackie, the same to you. A new Year, new adventures, more tears, but more tears of joy this year i hope.
Happy New Years to you as well =)
Thanks Yves, and to you, though I am late in replying to this comment, bad me!
Happy New Year my dear friend, wishing you and your family the very best in 2014. Tears only of happiness this year mate.. only happiness.
I sincerely hope so

All the best to you & your loved ones for 2014 & always…
