Analysis of Cry With A Laugh
Some people faint from a jilt. Some ha,ha,ha with tears.
Some people taint with a guilt.
Some cha, cha, cha for years.
Some people stalk from a quirk. Some ha,ha,ha with tears.
Some people skulk with a smirk.
Some cha, cha, cha for years.
Some people jump from a roof. Some ha,ha,ha with tears.
Some people trump with a spoof.
Some cha, cha, cha for years.
Some people choose from a list. Some ha,ha,ha with tears.
Some people lose with a fist.
Some cha, cha, cha for years.
Some people give from a heart. Some ha,ha,ha with tears.
Some people live with a smart.
Some cha, cha, cha for years.
Some people die from a gaffe. Some ha,ha,ha with tears.
Some people cry with a laugh.
Some cha, cha, cha for years.
