Laughter

Rolling in the isles, or chortling at the screen,
Laughter creates happiness, as best as it would seem.
We all love the Hollywood greates,
Such as Charlie Chaplin or Laurel and Hardy.
They worked their magic in silent form,
Like Buster Keaton stunts to perform.

In the modern era comedy is constantly changing,
Becoming more and more surreal.
But what I like the best is the old slapstick,
Like John Cleese in Fawlty Towers,
Or Blazing Saddles with Mel Brookes,

The comedy spoof always makes me laugh.
