The intense chuckle
When I feel proud of myself I chuckle.
Let it be my cast, rank or my product.
When someone says that he is proud of me
I chuckle and that chuckle is more intense.

Grandma's Gorgeous Boy
There's a chuckle in the tummy
Of Grandma's gorgeous boy
Laughter curls in his intestines,
like spaghetti, a la joy.
And the merest hint of jelly beans,
buy's dimples, two per smile.
Every burst of hearty laughter
Chocolate fish in single file
There's a chuckle in the tummy
Thousand, ways of being coy.
A scolding, drowns in misty eyes
he's, Grandma's gorgeous boy.

Human Bonds
I am happy when I rise
And jealous when you do.
I suffer when I fall
And chuckle when you do.

I love Dickens because it makes me chuckle to myself so. He has taken me to another world and out of so many earthly miseries.

The privileged ones
A scandal about a man and a woman
In equal status is denied by the both
With vehemence and with a chuckle.
Sex endorses them as the privileged.

We cannot be kind to each other here for even an hour. We whisper, and hint, and chuckle and grin at our brother's shame; however you take it we men are a little breed.

A blank page for the Self
‘About the Self, dear seeker,
nothing can be said..’
say the bright-eyed sages with
a chuckle and a wink;
a chuckle and a wink..
granting, later, that if you
can spare the timeless time,
you could start listing (for your self-same self)
that which Self is not..
well I’m not satisfied with that..
I’m going to start a list
for you yourself to add to,
of those times when… so, so nearly…
you almost, almost, saw yourself -
(when of course, not looking for yourself…)
as you passed that mirror in the cloakroom,
the shopwindow that’s been newly washed;
looked into the rockpool,
in your childhood’s waking dream..
when you hear – not the first note,
but the second, of some Mozart piece:
and something tells you that the mind
that knew what chord must follow from the first
has heard, has known, its self;
the moment that the playful wind
makes plastic bag into a jellyfish;
just as you see a kite tail-twisting over the rooftops;
before you wonder whether there’s a string;
just as a taste you never met before
meets several places in your mouth at once;
the moment that the scent of summer field
is sweeter to the nose than any flower;
these, like messages to say,
you’ll never catch me; but you’ll know
that I’m around..
And now I’ll leave the remainder of this page
for you to add to; or to rest blank,
as the remainder that is perfect evermore;
or for you to gaze some moments at…
contented; asking nothing
when there’s nothing left to ask;
knowing that you know your present self..
and need to know no more right now;
yet know that there, beyond,
is where all stillness smiles.

If by chance some day you're not feeling well and you should remember some silly thing I've said or done and it brings back a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as your clown has been fulfilled.

Especially when you deal with comedy, you have got to be really honest because it's the honesty and the spontaneity that causes people to chuckle, that catches people.

There is no law of progress. Our future is in our own hands, to make or to mar. It will be an uphill fight to the end, and would we have it otherwise Let no one suppose that evolution will ever exempt us from struggles. 'You forget,' said the Devil, with a chuckle, 'that I have been evolving too.'

You make me chuckle when you say that you are no longer young, that you have turned twenty-four. A man is or may be young to after sixty, and not old before eighty.

Im So Proud
Youre prettier than all the world
And Im so proud, Im so proud, Im so proud of you
cause youre only one fellows girl
Im so proud, Im so proud, Im so proud of you
Im so proud of being loved by you
And it would hurt, hurt to know,
If you ever were untrue, yeah
Sweeter than the taste of a cherry so sweet
Yeah, and Im so proud, Im so proud,
Im so proud of you
Compliments to you from all the people we meet
Yes babe and Im so proud, Im so proud,
Im so proud of you
Im so proud of being loved by you

Shiver
As the sun set in the west
the holes became more evident
as I pulled on my woolly vest
and the cold air rushed through
to chill my boobs.
I shivered in the dying sunlight
as I rooted around for
my thread bare jacket.
All the time the wind
howled with a chuckle
over the predicament I was in.
I retreated to the safety
of my straw filled bed
that collapsed upon the floor
as I rested down my head.
Then the roof caved in
and the stars looked down
with the moon and smiled
at this fool that laid there
shivering with his boobs turning blue.

The appreciative smile, the chuckle, the soundless mirth, so important to the success of comedy, cannot be understood unless one sits among the audience and feels the warmth created by the quality of laughter that the audience takes home with it.

Ms. Jekyll and Miss Hyde
The next door girl given to jeans and her art work
Is worth watching and investing an appropriate wave,
But I could not help but chuckle - after her graduation -
Seeing her transformed into interview
Folds of satin complete with high heels
Forcing me to marvel again at
The powers unleashed by a market society.

Being mother is a boon.
To be a mother is a woman’s pride.
The child being a son, her pride doubles.
If the child goes unmanageable,
Her pride will grow triples; she would chuckle.

Praying
praying
is when
the brook
tinkles in
its clear sky
the swalows
chirp a la shelley's
ehoing a
ballooned joy
in the scarlet sky
the chuckle of
child as mom
nudges him
towards
her bossom
over the roar
of ocean
and beach flying
with its sand
two frogs
one over
the other
staring
stoically
at the
glitters of
night

As Entire Universe Shines
Sometimes I chuckle laugh
as my eyes shine radiant
with flashes incorporating
keen revelation cosmic insight
as God sovereign laughs
infuses depth light insight
in harmonic shock waves
as entire universe shines

Humorless
Humor can be offensive and cruel
when it is filled with callus ridicule
Lacking concern…commanding a chuckle
Whacking like a knotted fist of knuckles
Inducing a rush of embarrassing blush
An avalanche of falling rocks that crush
If wit took a test declaring accountability
Its credentials would include responsibility

At Toledo
The little stones chuckle against the fields:
'We are so small: God will not think of us;
We are so old already, we have seen
So many generations blunt their ploughs,
Tilling the fields we lie in; and we dream
Of our first sleep among the ancient hills.'
The grass laughs, thinking: 'I am born and die,
And born and die, and know not birth or death,
Only the going on of the green earth.'
The rivers pass and pass, and are the same,
And I, who see the beauty of the world,
Pass, and am not the same, or know it not,
And know the world no more. O is not this
Some horrible conspiracy of things,
That I have known and loved and lingered with
All my days through, and now they turn like hosts
Who have grown tired of a delaying guest?
They cast me out from their eternity:
God is in league with their forgetfulness.
