Laughter

by Kalliroscope

Laughter

Everyone has a different way of laughing

Rumpleteazer giggles, and is well known for it

Etcetera's happy titter is annoying to the ears

Jemima has a sweet laugh that befits her nature

But me? What is my laugh like?

Have you ever heard me laugh, ever heard me chuckle?

I don't indulge in

Laughter.

Munkustrap laughs sometimes

He does!

He laughs a nice laugh

Tugger laughs a lot

And Deuteronomy chuckles

If the Jellicle Leader, the Protector, and the Curious Cat

Can laugh

Why can't I?

I don't indulge in

Laughter.

Macavity, the Fiend

He laughs too

A horrible cackle of glee

Of delight at some cat's woe

But do I laugh?

Have I ever laughed?

I can't remember ever indulging in

Laughter.

I'm the silent one

The lovely one

The dancer

I don't sing

Don't speak

Don't laugh.

Silence.

No laughter

I don't indulge in

Laughter.
