Notes About The Poem

"Now THAT was damn funny!"

- Weigh Your Words On Gold Weight -

Time for weekend humor

Do you need a good laugh ?

All cultures have humor

In an attempt to be funny

He always laughs at his own jokes

They was hand picked for maximum laughter

The audience does not laugh

Hi Anne-Lise, your poem reminds me of the forced 'canned laughter' on TV comedy shows - All cultures have their brand of humor I guess and alas many people laugh at their own jokes while their listeners out of politeness laugh with them - Well said ...Maria xx

When a toddler laughs, it laughs without reason but when a man laughs loudly to bring laugh in other's cheek, certainly he is doing fun. Beautiful poem my lovely dear friend. Loved always, bl

Wal-Mart is a discount department store we have here in the states... It sells groceries, clothing, plants and garden supplies, drugs, and even has your eyes exam. It draws the strangest people. If you are interested there are videos of people dressed the in strangest ways besides their actions are very ridicules... here is a web site of hundreds … https://www.google.com/search?q=walmart+people&rlz=1C1EJFB_enUS614US616&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwj815CQ_rPUAhXJ7yYKHR6TBL8QsAQIIw&biw=1920&bih=950
