Seeking a Laugh

Climbing a wooden ladder, seeking a laugh! Guffaws in splinters — as I grab each side splitter. A crescendo after the rung chuckles. The thinning air and applause, prolapse my breath. My knees might buckle as I collapse. 2/25/2018 Robert Haigh’s Make Me Laugh contest

Wit is intellect on a spree. Perhaps humor is truth my friend.

Thanks, Line! I went to see a comedian who with each new line had me laughing harder until I couldn’t breathe! I’m sure most have had this experience if you are prone to laughter. :)
