People have always loved to laugh, 
All around the world from ages past. 
Our humour really varies much, 
And we shall now describe it such.

The sharpest jokes might be called wit. 
Maybe so funny that our sides may split. 
Slapstick oft comes from clumsy action, 
And is meant to receive a loud reaction.

Comedians may tell funny jokes, 
And some amusing anecdotes. 
However, practical jokes are often cruel, 
For they may make one look like a fool.

The best medicine said to be laughter, 
So it really must last for ever after. 
Since humour gives such great pleasure, 
These moments are the ones to treasure.
