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.
