[hometext] => I've always wanted to make funny songs and jokes, and even stand-up comedy. So after hearing 'I Ran Away' from The Arrogant Worms, I wrote this, almost to the same rhythm.
[bodytext] => I was walking down the sidewalk when out of the corner of my eye I saw a moving blur A falling obese guy He had slipped on ice and groaned away But not me I laughed away Oh I laughed away People often seem To experience pain But not me Cause I laugh away I was at the doctor's office For a routinely visit When a man next to me Had let out a cough Soon after that I had done so as well He turned and looked at me A concerned look on his face He said "Oh I hope I didn't Just give you the flu! I can't afford to miss out on work! What do we do?!" I said "Oh lord I'm sick!" And then slapped my knee Just like the proverbial hick I hyucked with glee Because I laughed away Oh how I laughed away Others may fret The thought of being ill But not me Cause I laugh away I soon after went to the bank To cash my paycheck Get myself a money order And cover my rent So I stepped into the crosswalk Yet quite at the wrong time Cause a sedan had plowed me Like a high-school marching band I said to the driver with closed eyes "I can't see a thing! I may never walk again!" And I laughed away Oh I laughed away I may just now be Bleeding internally But (I think) I'm still Just laughing away At the hospital I was given x-rays To see my various injuries That I've sustained today When the doctor looked at me And this is what he said "Son you've got a tumor, You're wasting away." But I didn't worry Nor did I fret For my response He would not soon forget I said "I'll need some thinner clothes, And I can finally wear a hat!" And I laughed away Oh I laughed away I may be falling apart Having growing pains But It'll never bother me I always laugh away Two weeks later I laid in my bed My girlfriend had left me Because I laughed at her It was funny that she cried When I told her of my health But hey, the pillows are free game, And I don't have snoring in the tired ear of mine! And I laughed away Oh I laughed away Others are bothered By feeling loneliness But not me Cause I laugh away [comments] => 1 [counter] => 116 [topic] => 7 [informant] => xHeathenx [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
