Breath caroms from school to school,
I have the last laugh...

Job was a bossy boss
Who was at a complete loss
He was devoid of staff
Who had the last laugh
Which made Job extremely cross...

Life without death contains nothing more than death without life, it remains unfulfilled straight from rejected beginnings of ending, a muted mockery of laughter for crying out loud....

If I were a poisonous snake
I would get the last laugh
Giving my slayer a surprisingly venomous bite
Hours after he lopped off my head with a machete.
Only snakes are able to do this you know....

Today I met a mosquito
It wasn’t very fun
She bit me here, she nipped me there
(she even bit my bum)
But I had the last laugh...
I squashed her with my thumb!

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.

Don't look in my eyes,
you'll never really see;
Don't dance to the sound of my voice
You never hear what I mean;
Don't pretend that you care 
I know your never there 
But the last laugh is mine 
I control my time...

 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 ...

Told over and over,
the lie became true

As memory inverted,
the falsehood imbued

My cornerstone crumbling,
sticks piled with straw

A last self-deception
—the fantasy law

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....

Excuse me. 
There’s a lion on your back, I say.
The girl laughs.
Thinking I am kidding.
It’s probably my boyfriend, she says.
I have been carrying him on my back for a long time.
It is her last laugh.
I run away as she is devoured....

the last thing I heard was your laughter
it blew past me
on the old bridge
and settled softly in my 
daughter's hair
sparkling and involved with light

   I left it there forever
Sometimes at night
I hear her laugh
and I know
she's dreaming about you....

on return from cremation - they dropped the urn with my ashes

shards punctured remains - I would have the last laugh at my farewell

memories down the drain - at least I knew where I was going

My breath is taken. 
No choice,
Just taken. 
Ecstatic pain
Thrills through me,
And I know 
You are right for me. 
This glove fits so well;
WE fit so well. 
They laugh at our antics,
That gallery of stern critics. 
Foolishly juxtaposed!
Enemies of Bliss!
The last laugh
Is ours....

Taste truth
Prize proof


Charm curls
Head hurls


Heart hopes
Sculpts scope


Soul sights
Fond flight


Fond feel
Heart heals


Hear hurts
Bless birth


Sift still
Wise will


Last laugh
Sweet stuff


Face fear
Heart hears

A five dollar bill in my name.
A white sealed up envelope.
A white handkerchief of forgotten spring.
A gold ring.
Sparks that fly through the sky.
The forces of nature are with us..
Masterpiece equipment that had the last laugh.
A bottle of water on the pavement.
I’d better pick it up it might be mine....

This world is cold
It's dark and black
I was too hopeful
You were whack

Your silly games
Threw me for a spin
You got what you wanted
You win

Go on your way
Never return
I won't fall again
I will learn

Who's got the last laugh?
We have to wait and see
Who still has your prize?
That would be me...

Outside the backdrop of the given world,
the emptiness fled

And deep in the recesses of what’s never to be,
contradiction fed

Far beyond meaning and stated intent,
all reasons turned to dust

With nothing to prove and less to embrace
—the laugh at last on us

Here lies that cleverest of politicians, Dick Nixon
   Who was crafty and devious and full of tricks an'

About whom it was said: Vote for Nixon in '72
   Why switch Dicks in the middle of a screw?
