LAUGHTER IN THE AIR

 

All I hear is laughter

Loud rhythmical laughter

My heart beat rhymes to this laughter

And the sunrise rises with this laughter

 

Jolly the mood must be for the laughter goes on and on

From the crack of dawn to the setting down of the sun

The young and old share in this laughter

And the widest of smiles on peoples’ faces by bed time

 

How filled with laughter their dreams must be

Merry all the way to slumber land

And more and more clear and bright faces by dawn

Looking much more younger and more alive

 

Oh the good of laughter

What overshadows ye but he shame you bring unto others

As others go merry some hide their faces in shame

The masses can’t get enough they laugh on

 

Occasionally you crack and break a rib

And laugh loudest

As one confined to the corner weeps away

The fun in finding fun in others’ shame

 

Who sobs tonight?

Who laughs tonight?

Why laugh, is because of the circumstances or the joker

It’s up to you to tell

 

In good cause we may laugh

Or as a reaction

But where would we rather be

For not even he who is made a laughing stock wants to be in that very situation

 

So great is laughter

And so real is the aftermath

Either for the good or the bad

But is it worth self esteem and confidence

 

Laughter is so alienating when you are not part of it

When everybody in the crowd laughs at you

Ok you may laugh on

But he who laughs best laughs last
