Contagious

The other day while I was sitting on a park bench
Relaxing,
I heard a voice behind me.
It sort of shrieked a little
And even squeaked a bit
As it let out a laugh.

I had been thinking
Of a joke I had heard
The night before,
And then there came that shriek
So I laughed along.

Pretty soon I heard other voices too.
All of them laughing,
Joking and having a fun time.
