I Woke Myself Up Laughing Poem by Mary Nagy

I Woke Myself Up Laughing



I woke myself up laughing
I couldn't hold it in.
It started with a chuckle..
and it ended with a grin.

Have you ever woke up laughing?
I mean right out loud and clear?
I love when my day starts like this
but it's my family's greatest fear.

They know if I wake up laughing
they're bound to hear the joke.
No matter how un-funny...
I'll laugh until I choke!

Yesterday I woke up laughing
about a funny dream.
I'd tell you all about it
but to you it may not seem....

Ok, I'll tell the story...
but just prepare yourself to roar.
I dreamt I took the last dry towel...
and there weren't anymore!

This is it! That's the dream!
I still can't tell it through.
I'm laughing myself out of my chair
as I write the words to you!

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I'm a laugher too. I embarrass my son all the time...at the grocery store, at the movies (when I'm the only one laughing- and it's NOT a comedy!) , in church...etc... Hey...we can't help it if we're happy!

Ask Norman Cousins. The book is called Anatomy of an Illness. Good job Mary but I can't type any more words, laughing too hard. H

Mary, maybe it's some delayed subconsious reaction to some dirty joke you've heard... that would explain the clean towel. Or, you're just plain weird. But, weird in a good way! ! Brian

I don't think grabbing the last dry towel is funny but I think the poem itself is hilarious.
