Laughter is Catching

By Aneirin Menelaos

Ale can be bitter
Wine can be sweet
Comfrey's for healing
Candy's a treat
Laughter is catching
just like a trout
Eel pie is horrid
of that there's no doubt

Cats can be silent
so can a thief
clinging to shadows
bringing you grief
but laughter is catching
just like a trout
you cant waste life worrying
of that there's no doubt

Nymphs are so lovely
Dwarves often less so
Humans are boring
as everyone knows
but laughter is catching
just like a trout
looks aren't everything
of that there's no doubt

gold has a luster
gravel has none
the stars are so lovely
don't look at the sun
and laughter is catching
just like a trout
beauty's eye's beholder
of that there's no doubt

You're probably wondering
Where this is going
truth is I tell you
there's no way of knowing
but laughter is catching
just like a trout
rhymes can be aimless
of that there's no doubt

Masters of war
Their swords in the air
Magi so puissant
your glad they are there
but laughter is catching
just like a trout
swords or spells cut as deep
of that there's no doubt

In treetops so fair
or in tunnels so dim
in castles stone cold
or in Zvidureth you swim
Laughter is catching
just like a trout
there's no place like home
of THAT.... there's no doubt
