ARE YOU PRONE TO LAUGH ATTACKS
THEY ARE HARD TO STOP
SOMETHING HITS YOU THAT IMPACTS
LAUGHTER JUST TAKES OFF
NO ESCAPING SHOULDERS SHAKING
NO MISTAKING OVERTAKING
ANY SENSE AT ALL
AND YOU CAN'T RECALL
WHAT STARTED IT
THE LAUGHING FIT
JUST LET IT RUN ITS COURSE
DON'T WORRY BOUT THE SOURCE
IT HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US
SO WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US
NO NEED TO MAKE A FUSS
