If you need to laugh when you are miserable
think of the poor kid with a pot on the head
who'd rather be riding his bicycle instead
when you need relief from the inequitable


think of unlikely trips to a doctor's bench seat,
think of two people who'd otherwise never meet;
think of the man with a dislocated jaw
wonder if he'd broken some archaic law...
who saw the poor kid in hand with his mother
couldn't figure out all the fuss and bother;
decided to laugh at the show in the clinic
removal of the caserole was no easy picnic.


the laugh that began, difficult to restrain
caused the man an infinite amount of pain,
tears began to roll down his face
unconcious was he of repair taking place

for no sooner was laughter in your face
that the jaw bone snapped back into place;
the man rewarded the child, stood and left
the child whose pot created a forehead cleft.
