LAUGH FOR YOUR LIFE

I laughed until I started to cry;
Teardrops began streaming down my cheeks.
I laughed so much that it lasted days,
Then the laughter days turned into weeks.

I laughed a lot, yet I didn't know,
Exactly what I was laughing for.
The fact that I didn't know what for,
Only made me chuckle even more.

I was in hysterics; uncontrolled.
My body began to really shake.
My face hurt from laughing for so long,
And other parts were starting to ache.

I laughed so much that I could not speak,
I could just giggle, splutter and cough.
Eventually though, I stopped laughing,
For I really did laugh my head off.
