The Laughing Bug
~*~ The Laughing Bug ~*~
I can’t go to school today
Mom says I must stay home
The Laughing Bug just got me
He attacked my funny bone!
It started with a tickle
And then a he-he-he
And then before I knew it
That bug got hold of me!
I snickered first and then I grinned
And then I laughed out loud
That Laughing Bug has got me!
He must be very proud
My laughing just got louder
I laughed for most the day
I was laughing loud and long
When Johnny came to play
Well, Johnny saw me laughing
My laughing made him grin
And then he started laughing too
I’d passed it on to him!
That Laughing Bug has got us
And Mom said, "Get outside!"
We thought that was SO funny!
We laughed until we cried!
So out we run into the yard
Then we ran down the street
We think we’ll pass that Laughing Bug
To everyone we meet!
The Laughing Bug keeps passing
From one person to another
The only one it hasn’t got
I know is just my mother
Mom said she couldn’t take it
That this was just no good
We’d better get some self control
Or we’d infect the neighborhood!
The Laughing Bug has hit our town
And this is just outrageous!
This could spread around the world
Cause laughing is contagious!
