Still Laughing Poem by Francie Lynch

Still Laughing

Rating: 4.5


... still Laughing
I was told Goody's gonna die Sunday.
It's Nascar Weedkend,
Now Thanksgiving will never be the same.

We weren't sure of him last week;
So we hoped, and prayed;
Me too.
It wouldn't have happened at all
If Mark didn't laugh so much,
didn't eat so much,
didn't talk so much,
drink so much,
chew so little,
swallow so much,
laugh so much,
choke so much.
Then leave so fast.

That's Goody.
Still laughing.

Mark was the closest friend of my son-in-law. Very sad event.
