Written for RDP, where Martha asks us
to get creative with the word “laughable”.
Thanks, Martha! Here’s where the prompt took me.
It’s funny how the word
“laughable”
means
foolish or irrational ….
something scornful,
worthy of derision.
Example:
If the news wasn’t so depressing,
it would be laughable.

Might as well laugh at the news, the alternative is to cry! Who wants to cry over dumb politics and the orange buffoon in power right now in the USA!
