Babies gurgle—sweet abandon,
onlookers twitter pure delight,
Stealthy chuckles slowly morph
to breath-gasping giggle fits
when a solemn room sits hushed.
After spring rains—a babbling brook,
songbirds warble high and low.
As a mischievous wind whistles,
it tickles leaves swishing the sky.

I liked those verses a lot. It is really great when laughter is contagious. Far too many people need a chuckle breaking right out into a giggle fit.
