I love to laugh
Till my muscles ache,
Till I almost weep,
Till I start to shake.
I love to titter,
To snort and guffaw,
Giggle, cackle,
It’s my ‘fatal flaw’.
For me, it’s like op’ning,
A brand new toy,
It’s such an expression
Of love, of joy.
The words we use,
Are syngeneic,
Are bubbly, frothy,
Onomatopoeic.
Kids will laugh
400 times a day,
Adults -15,
A poor effort – eh?
I make it my mission,
Fuelled by wine and caffeine,
To laugh far more often,
In 2013.

Fueling up with caffeine now! Agree with your goal.
Bring on the caffeine!
What a lovely poem. I agree. Adults don’t find enough to laugh about. I practice smilling in my morning exercise routine every morning to keep my face muscles taut. No coffee for me. I’m English. I drink tea. hehe.
Thank you Frances! I am English, I drink a good cuppa tea too! The caffeine can apply to that too!
Ah you have revealed the secret, wine and caffeine, I can do that. Perhaps my fortune will be made once I produce a caffeine laced wine..I’ll laugh all the way to the bank.
Good luck with the “alchemy” of that Wiliam!
Pure delight! I will take the laughter with me today. Thanks, Caro!
Glad you enjoyed it Kathi!
Darling this is wonderful and there is nothing better to me than hearing you laugh, long may your renaissance continue xxx
Thank you my darling. There is simply nothing I would rather do than laugh with you…(well almost nothing!)xxxx
Hi Caro
Laughing keeps us young, we should do it every day! I agree with the wine, don’t drink coffee (or tea even though I am British lol)
Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend

Thank you Pauline! Yes laughter is good for the soul…
Hi Caro- Wow! Is it really true that most adults only laugh 15 times a day! Just like a good yawn, laughing is so good for us. Laughing releases endorphins:-) I think Philosopher, William James said it best. ” We don’t laugh because we’re happy. We’re happy because we laugh.” Here’s to getting our laugh on!
It’s true! Frightful, huh? Note to self, do better!
