One cannot imagine a world without humor. Without humor, the world will be dark, cold, and a sad place, tragically lacking joy, cheerfulness, and laughter. Humor is medicine. During rough times, humor will help lighten and lessen physical and mental anxiety.In his own challenging times, Vincent J. Tomeo chose humor. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the author was fighting his own battle with bladder cancer. In his struggle to not get depressed or dwell in negativity, he sought out beauty and laughter to help him arrive at a state of contentment and peace.
In search of happiness, the humor worked its charm, resulting in a treasure chest of joy and a healthy prognosis. Tomeo's chapbook, The Usefulness of A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times, highlights the humor in the everyday, and even among the hippopotami!
