The thing which made them laugh out loud
Was "funny" -- fear and relief melded into
Hilarity, safe in the snickering crowd,
Hoots and giggles born from the part of
The brain where thought is not allowed...
Listen carefully, if you please,
Humans laughing sounds
Like monkeys in the trees...

Random Rhymes From An Expat Living A Long Way From Home

Far Out (By Philip Larkin)
Beyond the bright cartoons
Are darker spaces where
Small cloudy nests of stars
Seem to float on the air.
These have no proper names:
Men out alone at night
Never look up at them
For guidance or delight.
For such evasive dust
Can make so little clear:
Much less is known than not,
More far than near.
