Another poem about laughter today – so here is Lola enjoying a giggle with her big brother when she was a puppy. It always makes me smile, anyway! She particularly like having her tummy tickled… Thank you, Philippa for this poem!
The Gift Of Laughter
I caught a peal of laughter
Before it got away
It flittered and it fluttered
Brightening up my day
It rippled in my hand
Pulsating with the giggles
A light and friendly laughter
That gave off little wiggles
See my laugh collection!
I’ve got chuckles and guffaws
Chortles and Hee hees and
Ha ha’s and haw haws!
I have saved this laughter
In a jar up in my room
And when I’m next unhappy
And filled with doom and gloom
I’ll let these peals fly
Bring a smile to those they touch
Laughter is a precious gift
Thank you very much

Today’s joke – did you know that if you look at a mirror REALLY closely, it looks like an eyeball?
Oh! And Happy Birthday to Peter, my husband!
