Where has all the laughter gone
Prior to these two years we laughed so much
At jokes and quips and such
And now not a chuckle in so long
It seems so very wrong
Where has all the laughter gone

If you'd grace me with a smile upon your face
You would lift my heart to it's happiest place

But now your scowl is a shield
And all the humor is forced to yield
At the somberness reality wields

So I ask you again with affection
With verse, poem and song
Where has all the laughter gone
