You're Funny



If you don't think you're funny you don't have a mirror.
"Images by reflection" can situations clear.

If you think life is easy you have a myopic eye.
"Defective foresight vision" can big pictures deny.

If you don't think you're roguish you don't have cognizance.
"Unconscionable conduct" can shamefully advance.

If you think life is money you have a twisted view.
"Mediums used for exchange" can never health accrue.

If you don't think you're selfish you don't have acumen.
"Particular advantage" can indwell panhuman.

If you think life is simple you have a naive slant.
"Uncomplicated status" can often disenchant.

If you don't think you're crazy you don't have any clue.
"Maniacal behavior" can manifest in you.

If you think life is neutral you have a partial bent.
"Dispassionate equity" can disengage consent.
