I Need to Laugh

 
 
but my friend is out of the country,
my sister doesn’t answer her cell, 
my daughter texts she is nursing her baby to sleep, 
Siri forgets the punch line, 
and the ole man is watching the evening news.  
I open pinterest and type “make me laugh” 
which appears as three different boxes:  
Make. Me. Laugh. which makes me laugh.
 A squirrel doing jive says People will stop asking you questions 
if you answer back in interpretive dance.  A chicken with lots of waddle
asks  Guess who I saw today? answers  Everybody I looked at
If humans stood in single file around the equator (a map of the world as water mark) 
most of them would drown.  A rainbow with a lightning bolt
shouts No Gold For U! where the strike hits land.
Then I found Erma. Gerd. Hilarious. and 
 
 
 
down here—
 
 
 
I’m on the floor
