Best Last Laugh Poems


We Who Laugh Last, Laugh Best
That foolish stranger who had wandered into town
bickering with folks, trying to shove them around
was nothing more than an old worn-out clown.
Beneath Soup Creek Bridge, we saw him drown.

We thought he'd learned a lesson and ran away,
but fate did him in for being such a...

Last Laugh
They laugh under their sleeves,
as they destroy you,
trumpling you on the ground
like dirt. They laugh visibly
because they think
it doesn't make a difference
if you know their schemes
or not,
for your life is in the balance.

They scorn you
when it starts raining;
the dirt on your clothes
and skin turn to...

Democracy now that is a laugh
When the voting is all stacked with graft
And I will give you a plug
If you punch out that lug
If you believe me you’re really daft!

You say you’re poor and you’re not real able
To put food and some bucks on the...

The Last Laugh
One day my half brother Eric 
From Oklahoma, visited us
He brought with him some fake vomit
Just to see who he could disgust!

When he was close to my grandma
He heaved and dropped it on the floor
We laughed at the look on her face
First a giggle, then...

The Last Laugh the Poets Pluck Wilfred Owen
To sing an anthem for doomed youth.
Why did I believe the clergy's untruth
and the politicians who I voted for in a polling booth.
and know i will pay the price in karma's toll booth.

Governments don't worry with arms and the boy.  
or the death of...

The Last Laugh
I’m not an ego maniac
you know the type that gives others a heart attack
I get my vital nutrition 
From a dietitian
Who only asks for my Submission
And he gives me the ambition
To fight back
On track
Promises me that I will never lack.
There’s a battle every time I...

One of Life’s indisputable facts:
Government reserves the right to tax;
And tho’ they waste far more than they should,
It’s supposedly done “for the common good.”

Economists use the word “propensity,”
Just a fancy word for “odds”, you see:
The odds you’ll save, the odds you’ll spend,
And how many Tax...

The Last Laugh
Love laughs at life,
Scorns the scourging whip of years,
Dulls life’s sawing knife
And watersheds its tears.

Love smiles at death,
Soul withstanding soil,
Heaped upon the flesh whose breath
Expires. Love’s Death’s foil....

While national debt is reduced
The economy needs a boost
Rules from money gods
Say these goals are at odds
So tough times will be introduced

Always find a way not to pay
Hold on to what’s due till doomsday
These ways and means slow
Show it’s better to owe
And with others money...

Last Laugh
I should have looked before I leaped
now I have been left in a lurch
by my lily-livered boyfriend,
but I'll have the last laugh
when he see his laundry
in a lovely shade of pink.

a lone star in the sky is what you see 
blinded by the lure of the city

window shining the spree of shopping
neons begging to make the scene

buildings trying to reach the mighty
nonsense say the star surrounded with twinkles

as in the dark it shines in a...

The Last Laugh

Gone are the days that Adam and Eve
were living with peace from within, 
a garden so fresh and perfect
till that ugly old thing called sin, it moved in.

It came slithering into the garden
in the form of a once beautiful snake, 
but after the...

 I once listened to your words of sweet reasoning
Only to receive a life of silent threatening
I questioned my doubt and found my heart mourning
I blame not you for this life of mine drowning ...
