Comment from Genya
Can just hear this little guys laugh. It was so contagious. A child trying to stop a laugh can be one of the hardest things to do. What a great poem. Lovely pictures as well. Once it started down its path not one thing could stop my laugh. Just brilliant. Genya

Comment from Wendyanne
Lol what a delightful piece of poetry Brooke. Yes once we get the urge to laugh we cannot stop it. You have described that feeling well.
I didn't stand a chance against it,
couldn't trap or cage or fence it.
Once it started down its path,
not one thing could stop my laugh.
Lovely!

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hi Brooke - Very good - you had me fooled. All the way through this great little poem in good rhyming couplets, I thought you were talking about balloons. But it is Sawyers laugh you write about. I can remember laughing uncontrollably like that, but not for a while. A really good hop-along poem. Warm regards Dorothy x

Hi Brooke - A child's laughter is infectious. If you go on Youtube you get babies laughing and it is impossible not to laugh also. Regards Dorothy
