-laughter's Best Equals Better-

Not for naught is laughter called, the right medication, for the soul, Laughter plays no prideful role on ego’s path, or vanities goal, For laughter is the sense of joy installed, That harmonizes with the world. Not for naught is laughter said To be the best medicine, Well documented in olden lore Widespread and genuine When laughter is at its best It rids the mind of emotional stress. Not for naught they say that tears of joy Keeps miseries away For sorrow’d tears, distress employ But laughter is the key to the happy door As souls entwine and in mirth soar. Not for naught does laughter’s role Play a major part in emotions discharge No matter how gruesome the turmoil Laughter clears the way small or large For laughter makes light a load on this life’s symbolic road. Not for naught does laughter bring Peoples together joyful in voice to sing For man must have affinity to survive, Must have Love around to keep the world alive For without affinity for one another There will be no laughter for miseries to smother. Joyful laughter is pure sanity Man must have affinity For survival’s reality Try the laughter’s way Feel as relief has its say at laughter’s play.
