I Gotta Laugh So I Dont Cry
Life’s pitiless pathetic ploy -
There is more sad than there’s of joy.
For hearty laughs and happy cheers
Here comes a penalty of tears.
I gleaned from what life got me through
To navigate between the two.
I pledged a compromising pact -
My funnybone to counteract.
These two take turns, sadness and joy -
Life’s pitiless pathetic ploy.
I can’t do both at once - thereby -
I gotta laugh so I don’t
cry.
