Humorous

                        When someone stumbles and falls on their ass;
            we find their predicament humorous.
And even though it is considered crass,
the people caught laughing are numerous.
                        When playing tug of war, inches to go,
uncontrolled nervous laughs may start to show,
and should the rope break, that laughter will grow.
      Heaven forbid someone should slip on ice,
            we'll break out laughing, although it isn't nice;
                        yet, the butt of a joke exacts a price.
Why do we laugh when someone passes gas;
            or a skier fractures their humerus?
      If there's a why, I don't profess to know;
            that it's impulsive will have to suffice.
