Just For Laughs

I feel like writing something funny,
I got inspired by a poem here
but i do not want to write it
and the reason is my fear
that you might not find it humorous,
might make you shed some tears.

Of course it might not be funny
if you laughed so much it hurts
and your ribs rattled with the blast
of laughing so uncontrollably
that it almost stops your hearts?

So now I have a dilemma
an argument of two
shall I make you laugh a little
and fail in what I do?
Or shall I try to rip you
with a story so absurd
that you cannot stop the laughing
until you are interred?

Which would be the kinder
a gentle chuckle or a smile
or a life defying onset
of uncontrollable guffawing
that leaves you dying in a while?
