Wine for the soul

Laughter is wine for the soul –
        laughter soft, or loud and deep,
            tinged through with seriousness.

Comedy and tragedy step through life together,
        arm in arm, all along, out along, down along lea.

A laugh is a great natural stimulator, a pushful entry into life;
        and once we can laugh, we can live. 

It is the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living.
