You must laugh...

Friends said,

Try to be comical

I said,

That's up to the individual

She said,

Why don’t you try?

It will do you good

I picked up a funny book

And started reading poetry

Wearing a smile

She started writing

With the laughter

In story form

She read her writing

Back to me

I said, "it's funny."

Penny

She said,

I'll give you the book."

for a dollar

The book was full

of blank pages

between covers

She laughed aloud 

I smiled a little)

We were crazy

She rolled over

on her back

laughing

Ha-ha-ha  

Is it not funny?
