Humour

You trip, you fall, I instantly laugh

No matter how small or big the gaff

It’s a failing I’ve tried to overcome

And I think never more shall I succumb

And then someone lands on their face

Out the window goes all my good grace

I’ve tried to determine my automatic response

I now realize it’s not mean unkind nonchalance

It’s my nervous reaction an immediate response

I laugh, I guffaw as tears course down my cheeks

And if it was really funny laughter goes on for weeks
