Laughical Gas Poem by Francie Lynch

Laughter is universal.
Extraterrestrials shit themselves with it;
Martians piss their pants;
Venutians titter til they cry;
Earthlings kill themselves with it
While splitting a side,
Rolling on the floor,
Chortling all the while.
Politicians rub their hands gleefully,
Snickering and cackling
While standing us against the wall.
A good roar, hoot or howl
May be good for the soul,
But it sounds dangerous,
Especially if you have a fit
Of tee hees, ha has and yuk yuks
While operating heavy machinery.
