272. To Make People Laugh

If you can make just one person laugh,

then you’ve already made two people happy,

for happiness is quite contagious.

That, you will see.

Tell a joke, even if it’s corny.

You may make a fool out of yourself,

but that’s not entirely bad.

At least you’ll get people to laugh.

Or they may just roll their eyes

right out of their head.

You can say they’d never see it coming,

but they might hit you instead.

At least you tried to be funny,

even if others don’t think you are.

As long as you’re having fun with it,

because laughter goes pretty far.

As far as you allow it to.

So, try to be happy,

and smile as often as you can.

And one day you may see,

that you’ll want to make people laugh,

just like me.
