I’ve missed quite a few NAPOWRIMO days, but today, while at the AATH (Association for Applied & Therapeutic Humor) Conference I was inspired by an opportunity to follow my own advice.
Today’s disaster can be tomorrow’s funny story.

Powerpoint Disaster
There was thunder and lightning in my presentation.
No, really, it was a sound file
Carefully placed and timed, I thought,
To enhance the Laughter Lightning Round.
But Zeus was feeling disrespected
how dare I use lightning for humor
Only he can control its form.
And that is why lightning flashed
and thunder roared
at all the wrong times
in my 4-minute speech
that was rewarded with smiles and laughter,
instant reframing of a disaster
turning immediately into humor.
