Expressions of Mirth
Charlotte chortles and Geoffrey guffaws
Lara laughs and Rory roars
Carmen cackles and Gina's a giggler
Esme explodes and Simon's a sniggerer
Chuck chuckles and Howard howls
Shirley shrieks, Graham growls
Roland rolls in the aisles,
Whoopi whoops, Smriti smiles
Sunni snorts, Tina titters,
Craig cracks up, Sunita snickers
Wesley wheezes and Harry ha-has
All these people are having a blast!
Lara laughs and Rory roars
Carmen cackles and Gina's a giggler
Esme explodes and Simon's a sniggerer
Chuck chuckles and Howard howls
Shirley shrieks, Graham growls
Roland rolls in the aisles,
Whoopi whoops, Smriti smiles
Sunni snorts, Tina titters,
Craig cracks up, Sunita snickers
Wesley wheezes and Harry ha-has
All these people are having a blast!
