'Why Are You Laughing? '.....[ Short; A Question My Mate Asked Me Recently; 1st Poem I Have Typed On This Dang Tablet]

Rating: 5.0


Why am I laughing? You may wish you'd not asked.
But I like a challenge, and, to answer, I'm tasked,
so let me see if I can give you a reasonable answer,
and not leave your head spinning like a dervish....dancer.

It may be 'cause, on phone, my third wife told a joke.
Or I cracked open an egg and found feathers, no yoke.
Or I did something stupid and realized it too late,
but IT was not 'huge'; it would change no one's fate.

Or I read a book passage at which YOU might cringe.
Or, a HOT hairdryer, my long (grey) hair did singe.
OR I could be watching, on TV, from U.K., Mr. Bean;
he's a goofball who is pitiful, selfish, and mean.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
My mate did ask the question. Sometimes I don't know the answer to that question. The poem gives some idea, to YOU, of what I might laugh at.

Spent days figuring if what you wrote was true Decided that 'twas not true though you may argue For I know laughter in your head constantly brew And the humor in you can never be subdued You will laugh even if there's a hole in your shoe Or lose your wallet holidaying in Peru Thanks Bri Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

The ability to laugh anytime is indeed a blessing....! But don't laugh very often when you are alone! Your mate might get baffled and might even think of forcibly taking you to a psychiatrist!
