Monday is here and with the start of the workweek we have the 20th prompt for Just Jot it January 2020. Today’s prompt comes to us compliments of Sadje. Thank you so much, Sadje! Please be sure to visit her blog to read her post and say hello. And follow her while you’re there!.
Your prompt for JusJoJan January 20th, 2020, is “humor.” Use the word “humor” any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Humour, well you see I am English and we spell some of our words differently, and that can lead to humour on occasion.
Humoral theory, also known as humorism or the theory of the four humours, was a model for the workings of the human body. It was systemised in Ancient Greece, although its origins may go back further still. The theory was central to the teachings of Hippocrates and Galen and it became the dominant theory in Europe for many centuries. It remained a major influence on medical practice and teaching until well into the 1800s.
In this theory, humours existed as liquids within the body and were identified as blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow bile. These were in turn associated with the fundamental elements of air, water, earth and fire. It was further proposed that each of the humours was associated with a particular season of the year, during which too much of the corresponding humour could exist in the body – blood, for example, was associated with spring. A good balance between the four humours was essential to retain a healthy body and mind, as imbalance could result in disease. Such notions of internal balance have parallels in other medical traditions, notably Ayurveda, Unani Tibb and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The treatments for disease within humoral theory were concerned with restoring balance. These could be relatively benign and focused on changes in dietary habits, exercise and herbal medicines. But other treatments could involve more aggressive attempts to re-establish balance. As well as having the body purged with laxatives and emetics, or the skin blistered with hot iron, individuals already weakened by disease might be subjected to bloodletting because practitioners mistakenly believed that their bodies contained an excess of blood. You can find this article, for which I own no credit here.
Well that was a jolly article not much humour there. Let’s have some music.
Andrew John Hozier-Byrne (born 17 March 1990), known professionally as Hozier is an Irish musician, singer, and songwriter from County Wicklow. Isn’t he gorgeous and Oh! That voice! He certainly raises my humour.
Now we all know that there are other meanings to the word, you can be in a good or bad humour, meaning your mood. You can be accused of having no sense of humour, or you can be a laugh and have a good sense of humour. It’s all relative really.
Humour is big business we have comedians male and female who all have vastly different ideas of humour. Here is one of my favourite comedians Peter Kay.
And here is my favourite comedienne of all time Victoria Woods who is sadly no longer with us singing one of her comic songs.
There is also Ricky Gervais who has a dark sense of humour, he writes dark sitcoms, he has been in films and is also he is a great stand up comedian…but an acquired taste. Here he is at the Hollywood Golden Globes ripping the Glitterate and Establishment apart. He is only telling the truth! I like him😜 Not everyone’s sense of humour.
Well I think that’s enough humour for today, have a good one everyone 💜

I know that it is raining I can see that it wet
But you are my familiar and not a blooming pet!
I have asked you nicely I have even said please
Now go and get me food or I shall infest you with flees.
Excuse me, Lady Mistress, this does not seem quite right
Just where in my contract does it say I have to work for you at night!
You have run me ragged every minute of today
I am tired now and my feathers are wet and here in the warm I need to stay.
Pardon me, my fine feathered friend pardon me my beauty
I am not requesting that you get me food I am demanding that you do your duty.
I am the one in charge not you , I am the tortured soul of a Vampire
You do as I bid and brook me not.Go, go on, What are waiting for, wet weather attire.
Well Mistress that would not go amiss for I am not a duck,
And if I get lost you will miss out and that would be such bad luck.
Be Gone Get out and find me fresh blood
And if you play your cards right I shall dip you in the stream on your return to remove the mud.

My good friend and fellow blogger Martin Shone wrote that he saw Death as Life’s Poet. I loved this idea and wrote this poem below about my poor over worked friend Grim ( as in the Reaper AKA Death) You can see more of Martin’s thoughts here .
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The room would appear to be empty and dark
But what is that, a scratching , scratching, hark!
Slowly your eyes grow accustomed to the lack of light
There in the corner is an old guy working, a curious sight .
Who is this, who can it be ? It is Death ( in his civies ) writing Life’s Poetry.
I almost feel sorry for Reaper I do and I feel you should agree.
He is exhausted by life’s demands and quirks
He not only has to go out collecting the dead but
He has Life’s poems to write, he’s no shirk.
Can you hear that shusshing sound, lets see what can that be …..
It’s billions of egg timers set out on shelves . They represent you, the rest of the world and me.
I almost feel sorry for Reaper I do and I feel you should agree.
He is exhausted by life’s demands and quirks
He not only has to go out collecting the dead but
He has Life’s poems to write, he’s no shirk.
He is always busy now writing poetry and collecting the dead
And there’s more’ for he now has an apprentice to teach and keep fed.
Don’ t you feel a pang of sympathy for him, who holds the number’s of you and me.
There is never a moment when he can be free, not even a moment for hot cup of coffee.
Well he is very busy right now as we can see
And I think there is somewhere , anywhere else that we should be.
I almost feel sorry for Reaper I do and I feel you should agree.
He exhausted my life’s demands and quirks
He not only has to go out collecting the Dead but
He has Life’s poems to write, he’s no shirk.

I am going out to dinner, I know it will not make me thinner!
Yet I don’t make dinning out a habit so when a chance arrives I’ll grab it!
I have not eaten since my breakfast , though some fruit my lips did get past.
So I am very hungry and I really fancy dinner so I am going even though it will not make me thinner!!
I had a lovely dinner the restaurant had a menu that really was a winner
So we wined and dinned together and eat food as light as a feather as we chatted about the weather.
Went we got home we had dessert , the best desert ever! I hear you ask could the restaurant not match it .. the answer is no, never!
It is a very special cheesecake, chocolate and vanilla the like you have never tasted or you ever willa or even get your filla!
Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.
