Childish Smiles Poem by Phil Soar

The child in me sees funny things in all we say and do
It makes me feel quite silly and I'm prone to giggling to
I never can be serious about the things I see
And very often fall about when people look at me

There are so many people that might spring into my mind
People with big noses or a very large behind
And then I burst out laughing, for no apparent cause
And roll about upon the floor, until the calm restores

I have been told so many times, that I should act my age
I'm afraid it is to late for me, I'm at a funny stage
My life is just a pile of laughs, I hope it never ends
But by the time it does, I realise I'll have no friends

So please do not be angry, when I laugh into your face
It's just a phase I'm going through, and rarely common place
I just think life is silly, and laughing's not a crime
Why don't you come and join in with this funny life of mine
