Chortles and Chuckles

A magic elixir for the heart, belly laughs are like Nature's high-five. For once the titters and snickers start, laughter keeps dreams and wishes alive. A contagious, outrageous feeling, laughter begins with grunts and hisses. Yet specializes in self-healing, like a bouquet of hugs and kisses. It's a panacea for the blues, as the chortles and chuckles snort out. And a must: for folks with a short fuse, laughs release tensions with every bout. Tickling your funny bone sets the mood, but once you start, it's stopping that's hard. For giggles aren't easily subdued, and laughter oft catches you off guard.

this is just a really cool way to describe a good laugh. one sits there and nods, smiles to themselves, as they read this clever, light-hearted piece.
