Laughter And Me<br /> <br /> Laughter you know is precious to me<br /> That's why I approach it with such utter glee<br /> <br /> Each day I find in my own special way<br /> A little chuckle to make my day<br /> <br /> I laugh at riches, rank and pride<br /> Hold no court with pomp and take it in stride<br /> <br /> For me these are the traits of one<br /> Wrapped up with himself while on the run<br /> <br /> To ourselves we allot our most sardonic glee<br /> Not paying life the compliment to take it seriously<br /> <br /> The stars are chuckling in their mirth<br /> And the greatest joke is man here on earth<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br /> March 23, 2016<br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
