PROMPT — Ask Me.
Nature found the humor today.
Tripped over it.
Trickster!
Tickling the soft belly
of the babies.
Baby animals.
Koalas.
Pandas.
Orangutans.
Clouds that look like baby animals.
Trees that look like baby animals.
Roundabouts.
All babies laughing.
The faux pas.
The quirky retort.
The funny bone.
Wax lips.
Language.
Clowns.
Slapstick.
Deadpan Keaton.
Harpo.
Marcel Marceau.
The banana peel.
Toilet paper stuck to your shoe.
Bobbing for apples.
Pin the tail on the donkey.
Twister, for Pete’s sake.
The Freudian slip.
How we survive.
