Notes About The Poem

Rhyming Riddles with Answers - Aha! Puzzles

Who Am I

This may seem lame. 
Let’s make it a game.

I’ll give you a clue.
You try to guess who.

Proceeding my entrance by just a short while,
Is often the presence or hint of a smile.

Used sometimes by women, more often by men,
Often, I start as a quaint little grin.

I can also be hardy, and sometimes quite loud,
And often I’m present amongst a small crowd.

If it is me, you want to invoke,
Share with the group, a funny joke.

If you want to seem happy from now ever after,
Invite me in, I’m best known as laughter.

Great riddle. I was totally stumped. P.S. It would be a great riddle even if I had not been stumped. Kudos!
