Laughing Time
It was laughing time, and the tall Giraffe
Lifted up his head, and began to laugh:
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
And the Chimpanzee on the ginkgo tree
Swung merrily down with a “Tee Hee”:
Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee!
“It’s certainly not against the law!”
Croaked Justice Crow with a loud guffaw:
Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw!
The Dancing Bear who could never say, “No”
Waltzed up and down on the tip of his toe:
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
The Donkey daintily took his paw,
And around they went: “Hee-Haw! Hee-Haw!”
Hee-Haw! Hee-Haw!
The Moon had to smile as it started to climb;
All over the world it was laughing time!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Hee-Haw! Hee-Haw!
Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
By William Jay Smith (1918 - 2015): “Laughing Time” (1955)

Just Laughin’
Did it ever occur to you
Of the good that you might do,
Just Laughin’.
Did you ever stop to think
That a sorrow you could sink,
Just Laughin’.
The world is like a dream,
Your thoughts are mostly clean,
When you’re laughin’.
The whole world seems more bright,
Everything turns out right,
Just Laughin’.
Victory seems to be your pace
And love just floods most every face,
Just Laughin’.
Everyone’s so bright and gay,
Work just seems to be like play
When you’re laughin’.
You’ll find the world much sweeter
And yourself will feel much better,
Just Laughin’.
Life itself would be so fine,
You can make it more divine,
Just Laughin’.
It’s the little things you do
And you know God loves you too,
When you’re laughin’.
