"Giggles, Sweet Giggles"


Giggles, sweet giggles I cannot stop you. Giggles from some unknown source within me, Which burst from my mouth always at bad times, Whether in the wrong place or company. I must silence the giggles I let out. Bad as a long and wet belch will be, Especially at the dinner table. Rude as a chewing mouth left wide open, Where all the food can be seen. So rude, so bad, the giggles I let out. Oh, loud and sharp as a crack of a whip, A sound that penetrates an awkward hush, and startle those who happen to be near While making the situation worse off. So loud, so sharp, the giggles I let out. Embarrassing as a flatus in class, And worse as when someone knows it was yours And then points it out for all; Shame on me. Much shame on me; so I hide my red face. Oh horrid noise, the giggles I let out. Parody of "Tears, Idle Tears"
