WORRY stalked along the road, <br />Trouble sneaking after; <br />Then Black Care, and Grief, and Goad <br />Enemies to Laughter. <br /> <br />But old Laughter with a shout <br />Rose up and attacked 'em; <br />Put the sorry pack to rout, <br />Walloped *em and whacked 'em. <br /> <br />Laughter frivols day and night ; <br />Sometimes he's a bubble, <br />But he hath a deal of might <br />In a bout with Trouble!<br /><br />John Kendrick Bangs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/laughter-56/
