Those who laugh last will always laugh the loudest and the laugh last is the sweetest laugh of all <br />And when victory goes to the rank outsider the lucky winning punter will recall <br />How he backed the winner because his name appealed to him he bet one hundred dollars at odds of 100 to 1 for a win <br />His friends they laughed but he laughed last and loudest it was his lucky day his luck was in. <br /> <br />Those who laugh last as always laugh the longest that's how it is and it will always be <br />I too have laughed at what I thought was the folly of others <br />only to find that the laugh was on me <br />And like they say laugh with and never at me for to laugh at is such a derisive thing <br />And those who laugh last always laugh the heartiest and their laughter to it has the happiest ring. <br /> <br />Those who laugh last will always laugh the loudest those words to life one also can apply <br />The poor and honest person who sows the seeds of good karma the fruits of those seeds one day will enjoy <br />And the dishonest one to the bank may go laughing only to pay through karma for ill gain <br />The money people come by through deception with them as we well know will not remain. <br /> <br />Those who laugh last will always laugh the loudest that's how it is and it's always been that way <br />The one who laughed last week at what he thought was another's folly is not the one who is laughing today <br />And like the one who bet on the 100 to 1 outsider he was even laughed at by his dearest friend <br />But that outsider stormed home the winner and he was the one who laughed at the end.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/those-who-laugh-last/
