Mary Poppins once said ‘We love to laugh,

Loud and long and clear’,

But I would like to talk on my own behalf,

That laughter isn’t always great to hear.

-

Mirth only works when all parties are informed,

And punchlines can pack a real punch to the gut,

So please don’t leave anyone scorned,

They don’t deserve to be the butt.

-

Make corny puns, deadpan deliveries, and juxtaposition,

On this Laughter day – loud and long and clear,

But use your intuition,

Else your companions may disappear

-

A/N: A short poem for you this laughter day! Remember to be nice, you troublemakers!
