Splattered Laughs on the Wall

You laugh and joke

and laugh and joke

and bust your gut on funny

you say to her,

..."Your getting old, you cant even remember where you lost your marbles!"

ha ha ha ha HA HA HA HA

and she says to you,

"Your not making any sense, I bet its your old age... and your only 50!"

HA HA ha ha HA HA hahaha

Then, 20 more years of wrinkles gather on your face

20 more years of laughs collect in a heaping muddle at the bottom of your stomach

20 years later You wake up and do not know your name

But you remember what she said

When your face was not so wrung dry

and your belly not so full

And you wonder where your HA HA HA hahaha went.

You have always been able to

laugh and joke

and laugh and joke

No matter the problem, your laughs were always bigger.

But today you cannot remember your name.

And you forgot that it would hurt when you pulled the trigger.

And your laughs went out with your brain.
