Game For A Laugh?

I sense something silly - is it growing from my head?  

I knew that it was waiting, soon as I climbed out of bed.

It's not a hat, or hunk of hair,

but just a thought that took root there

and wanted to be captured on a page, 

despite my somewhat sober writing age.

I think it is a giggle, that's decided 'Now's the time!'

I can feel it start to wriggle, like washing on a line

that's pegged but longs to travel

(risking falling in the gravel)

for it wants to see what life is like below...

(It's all about the viewpoint, don'tcha know?)

Now it's off and flying free - Look out! There it goes!

It only just missed hitting you on your rosy nose-

and no one would be laughing

at such abysmal timing...

I hope it takes a new, far distant road

before it lets its giggle-bomb explode...

Oh beware! It's on the loose dear reader, have a care!

It may descend upon you. Before you know it's there

it will titillate your funny bone,

despite your being all alone,

and seeds of laughter may sail through the air

to plant themselves in people everywhere!

Thanks go to this blog for its inspiration.

And apologies for using the title before- you can see how laughing has me in its spell!
