Cachinnation

Cachinnation I sought to sneak a surreptitious ogle Into people's hearts,long wont to swaddle Lugubrious as they were reluctant to bail From their ethereal,pitiable jail Launch a ludicrous joke and torment appease Provoke laughter and ruinous anxiety ease I had always surmised in humor as healing To break the ice and mood lightening Met my bid,alas,with mundane grin Blemishing their strained faces and souls akin Like tarantula spiders without food superannuate For years intern themselves and disallow to mitigate Why pleasantry has come undone Most hearts have sunk and engulfed in the long run.
