Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 I Don't Laugh

Don't laugh at you, I hear you plead.

But then you give the reason why.

You feel quite laughable indeed.

The more I listen the more I

Worry about your state of mind.

All those "show me's" that you confess

Seem to me to be pleas designed

To make me cry more and laugh less.

You blame your face, you blame your name,

Neither of which you seem too proud.

For me to laugh would be a shame.

I need to tell you this out loud.

You plead that I don't laugh at you,

And you make that so easy to do.
