"L" Is for Laughter

"L" is for laughter,

So good for the soul,

An inward feeling of joy,

It can make one feel whole!

Short weeks after birth,

Babies learn to beguile,

And captivate all,

With a laugh or a smile.

They say, even animals,

Know how to laugh,

 I've heard of hyenas,

But imagine a giraffe.

Laughter is contagious,

So don't let it end,

Once you get started,

Share with a friend!

Some people are shy,

And make barely a sound,

While others guffaw,

With a noise most profound.

They say that laughter,

Can help relieve pain,

Because of an effect,

It has on the brain!

I think that all of us,

Should laugh a bit more,

Be it a giggle,

Or a more hearty roar!
