I think Laughter an indelible ink.
It’s the chain of our recall’s strongest link.
For, we are quick to forget our worst pain.
Yet, hearts & bellies remember when slain.
Even the gallows change humor’s settings.
Shoulders shake at funerals & weddings.
A shush in a pew guarantees guffaws.
Don’t forget jokes about bears with long paws.
The happy good times flood back at a wink.
I think Laughter an indelible ink.
