It's a Hoot
Laughing out loud
forms questions in the crowd
they wonder and speculate
just what could be that great
to make you laugh and chuckle
biting your thumb knuckle;
easily they turn away
exasperated by your display
of laughter unrestrained
what keeps you so entertained;
laugh out loud, boisterous and bold
as eyes upon you begin to unfold
the joke that is undisclosed
the one that no one knows
it's a secret hoot;
not a word of underlying truth.
