Fragmented Rhyme
Constance La France invented it; it has 14 lines with lots of indentation and a rhyme pattern to follow. Do not divide it into stanzas. Rhyme scheme, ABABCCCDDDABCD

When someone stumbles and falls on their ass; we find such predicaments humorous. And even though it is thought of as crass, the times we're caught laughing are numerous. When playing tug of war, inches to go, uncontrolled belly laughs soon start to show, and should the rope break, that laughter will grow. Heaven forbid someone should slip on ice, we'll break out laughing; knowing it isn't nice, yet, the butt of a joke exacts a price. Why do we laugh; at people passing gas or new skiers who fracture their humerus? If there's a why, I don't profess to know; that it's impulsive will have to suffice.
