A Cup of Giggles

Would you like a cup of g i g g l e s?
Here's all you have to do.
Take a cup and hold it up.
Then laugh in a g i g g l e or two.

Now pass your g I g g l e cup around,
and watch it quickly fill.
But, oh, be so very careful,
not to let one g i g g l e spill!

Spilled g i g g l e s are infectious.
They'll wipe away a frown.
G i g g l e s blown into the air,
will infect an entire town.

No one can be unhappy,
when bubbles of g i g g l e s pop in your hair. 
So share your g i g g l e s with a friend,
and spread them everywhere.

g i g g l e s
          g i g g l e s
               g i g g l e s
colored with your laughter,
like loose balloons, float up in the air.

I guess we could all use more smiles and laughter in our lives. Thanks for commenting, rene. And I wish you a Merry Christmas, too, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.

This was very fun to read, Darlene. I like where your mind went with this - I could see the giggles sloshing all around in the cup. It's fun to let your silly side take over and see where it leads. I bet Jack Ellison would really enjoy this delightful piece.

I told you, Gordon, that your smiles poem reminded me of my giggle one. So if people like this one they should read yours. And no, I'm not a giggler. I'm more of a chuckler! Barbara Gorelick, who commented below, suggested that I should write for children in some way! Well, that is exactly what I'm doing! I'm posting my children's poems so others can share them with their children and others. And if desired, teachers can read them to their young pupils, that would make me very happy. :)

Have you ever thought of writing for children in some way?..You are so good at this kind of rhyme. Very nice! BG

Thank you, Barbara! Yes, I have thought about it. (self Publishing)Almost impossible, these days, any other way through a regular publisher. Unless you're already famous! Most of what I write falls into about 4 or 5 categories: Children, nature, Inspiration, and death & bereavement type poems. (I lost a son due to illness.) So I might someday put something together for family and friends. ;

Eileen, If you could use a giggle, then you must read my poem, "This is me yelling, Ha" Written on one of my down days when I just made up my mind to be happy anyway. And not let satan steal my joy. Thanks for reading this poem and taking the time to comment. :)
