My Mother's Poems

Yes, I laughed

Yes, I laughed
when the wind blew
the man's hat off of his head
and it went high in the sky.

Yes, I laughed
when the ball the clown
was juggling
kept bouncing across the floor.

Yes, I laughed
when the dog chased his tail
and could not catch it.

Yes, I laughed
when the clown kept trying
to get on his horse
and kept sliding off
on the other side.

Yes, I laughed
when the man stood up
in front of the large audience
and tried to convince
the people why he
should be elected
leader of a great nation.

Yes, I laughed and laughed.
