Laughter
Forgive me for my seriousness
But I possess some humor, too;
Though my preference is that mood
Which I laugh last ‘til I’m blue.
I am no slapstick comedian
Like goofballs dance for a minute;
I’d rather make you laugh at your pain
So you won’t be so stupid.
Laughter’s a blessing, not a toy;
Cheap jokes and gossip are robbed of joy;
So fatten your wits ‘fore our chat starts,
In the end’s all fun and good for your heart.
