The Irishman told the Dutch doctor,
"In the midst of a tempest, King Laugh arrives
As if in this weather he surely thrives.
Armed with an arsenal of jests
To which many protests,
More than mirth
Sadly trace their birth,
King Laugh stands in the storm
Joking as though the norm
Should be starving the rain
With laughter. Drain
Dry! Don’t feed the falling sky
With a watery eye.
When the lightning flashes
And thunder crashes
King Laugh steals the scene.
Though some regard it obscene
They fail to garner a gall midge
Insight that may bridge
The gulf to understanding
Why King Laugh comes demanding
Hilarity should reign
In Melpomene’s domain.
Laugh and his Fools never forget
She was first set
As the muse of singing,
So in the stinging
Downpour, they start laughing,
Almost dare chaffing
The grim squall
Casting a pall;
Making light of the worst
Instead of being submersed."
