One day a man was walking
While he was walking he began talking
Talking to whom...no one...just himself
Then a woman walked by and laughed
Laughing at the man, but now also herself
So she turned and began walking with him
They walked about and they sang a hymn
To no one but themselves
And soon befell a group of elves
Who were all laughing most hysterical
Some in tears from laughing so gayly
While others only laughed with a chuckle
One little elf even burst his buckle!
So all were happy and gay
to have the man and woman join in on this day
And now can be found
Where there is much sound
Of laughing and joke-telling
With everyone there with a stitch in their belly
From all the laughing that goes on
Day to day from now, to the beyond
