Inappropriate

There are certain situations
where seriousness is key,
but sadly sometimes,
this doesn't work with me.
I engage with the scenario,
thoroughly engrossed,
then suddenly from out of space
comes the very most-
inappropriate urge to laugh.

I fear I may offend and
so I make a real bid,
to contain my raucous laughter
and so put on the lid.
But it bubbles 'neath the surface,
and faces disapprove,
my shoulders start to shake
and my lips begin to move-
inappropriate urge to laugh.

Aware of others watching,
thoroughly confused,
I am nearly hysterical
but they are not amused.
It erupts out of my mouth and
I try to fathom why,
but it is much too late,
I am completely beaten by-
inappropriate urge to laugh.
