A Dose of Laughter
by
Saundra L. Washington
I'm not well. Can't you tell?
Kinda low, so,
Give me a dose of laughter.
Mirth will heal my every ill
And give me rest from my distress.
Now, give me a dose of laughter.
Glee can revive, keep me alive
And give me chance to happy dance.
So, give me a dose of laughter.
I'd crawl a mile for a smile;
But to get relief from my grief
I need a dose of laughter.
Isn't it plain that I'm in pain?
You can relieve if only you'd please
Give me a dose of laughter.
Laughter is pure and can surely cure.
What ails my heart would soon depart
If I had a dose of laughter.
I can't be strong for very long.
I'm sinking fast, unless at last
You give me a dose of laughter.
I don't need a pill for my ill.
I'm just spent in lament
And require a dose of laughter.
I must retain what still remain;
But don't delay, I'm in a bad way.
Bring me a dose of laughter.
Though insecure, I want to endure.
But I'm drifting and need uplifting.
Please, give me a dose of laughter.
Even though, I don't know
What it contains that kills my pain.
Just give me a dose of laughter.
It works somehow, so come on now;
Let go of doubt, I can't do without
My healing dose of laughter.
