I'd laugh at my life
If it were not my life
But I hate
Mockery.

You can travel with me
I trust your look
And you sometimes
Make me laugh
Unselfconciously.

I have been
Hither and yon
And seen a lot of things
Blinkered and wrong
While laughing woefully.

I have danced among the stars
Too big of steps
Prancing too far
But I trust your look
And you make me laugh
Unselfconciously.

I love her like life
A bright-eyed fierce wit strikes
And she reminds me
It costs extra for the cherry.

Like God's own soda ****
He amasses the vanilla
Gives a little whip cream squirt
And darts an inquiring look
Shall I add the cherry?

I love what I love
And I know what I know
I'll go fighting to the grave
Wrestling with my own ****** soul.
