For LaughsThe Laugh!
**
For many it comes naturally,
As though to it were born;
The slightest incongruity
Evokes a loud guffaw.

Even a stifled sneeze is known
To bring on the titters,
Or when a hapless nose is blown,
There follows instant sniggers.

‘Tis hard to keep a straight-laced face,
When gigglers are around,
Glum and gloomy feel disgraced,
There’s plenty to be found.

An empty life, if there’s no time
The funny side to see;
A poorer life no more sublime,
If that is all there is to be.
