Infectious

While attending today’s matinee
Of a fairly new one-woman play,
     My so-called “better half”
     Heard a boisterous laugh
From the audience, making his day.

Though the play was deserving of mirth
This was like the best laughter on earth.
     When the show did conclude
     He looked ‘round for just who’d
Chortled loudly for all she was worth.

With the lights on, he focused his eyes
To find she of those jubilant cries.
     He was thrilled when he found
     That the best laugh around
Came from someone he knew – a surprise!
