The last time they smiled, Its been a while
Neither do they laugh
Secretly rolling in laughter, they pretend to cough
Scared of laughter
And the consequences -thereafter
Laughter is a closed chapter
Lest the southerly breeze, in careless wheeze,
Tickle them a giggle
They huddled into a wriggle
When laughter does effuse
They forcibly diffuse
Even offered free, they refuse
Scared, they scan the horizon
For the first act of treason
Ever alert to thwart
If arose an effervescent thought!
Strict code of conduct, which surely sucked
No laughter, only despair
Hung in the air, at their lair
Trust me, have been there!
This was the story
of a family extra-ordinary
Who cringed
For even a tinge
of glee
tee hee hee
