Friday Night Poetry Slam

Theme: HA HA HA HA HA

(a theme is just a suggestion)

.....

I can't stop laughing

Nobody understands

The laugh is the whole of it

The cats scatter in alarm, then freeze and turn their ears backwards, waiting to see how this pans out 

The guests cast quick quizzical glances, pretending to ignore my impudence, forcefully burying all of their attention into their tea cups 

My family becomes self-conscious and embarrassed by our unavoidable association, unsure of whether to join in or disavow any connection 

HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! 

I don't know why I can't stop laughing 

The whole of it is a laugh

Not a single one of us understands
