Good Humor
Comic antics of the clown can lift the spirit high.
A good laugh puts no one down:
ethics and taste apply.
Chuckles are internal grins resembling quiet mirth.
They're replacement for chagrins,
disquietude and dearth.
Humorous events in life are often ludicrous.
"Gallows amusements" suffice
for the ridiculous.
Smiles are secret messages of kindness from the heart.
They transmit sweet presages
using conceptual art.
Jesters show buffoonery with cockeyed, crazy play.
Results from tomfoolery
is gladness they convey.
Snickers are giggles suppressed: partial, covert titter.
Jocularity's accessed
making quick-step skitter.
