Laughter Menu

I am still laughing
-one of those roiling laughs that starts from deep in the gut and works its way out-
At my baboon faced dog
Who took my place
On the trampoline
After I finished jumping

I am still laughing
-a kind of subtle laugh-
At my baboon faced dog
Who dragged five toys
Around me as I lay sleeping
On the couch

I am still laughing
-until the tears run down my eyes-
At my baboon faced dog
As she wakes me at 3 in the morning
With a few jabs to my face
To take her for a walk

She has got me on a menu of Laughs:
A kind of RAW foods
Atavistic diet
That we are spreading
Salve like in our house
Medicinal and curing
She's got me laughing.
