A Presence

Beware serious, uptight, overly stressed people.

I lurk in the classrooms, school hall, libraries, Wall Street, 

business offices.

Yes even in the churches.  My influence will spread.

There will not be a single person who can escape my presence.

I have existed before the dawn of time and will remain when 

you are just dust here on Earth.

But, when you arrive in the afterlife I will still find you.

Who am I?  I am Laughter.
