Old Folks Laugh Explanation: The first stanza of the poem, in tandem with the title, establishes the idea that old folks really know how to laugh. The poet suggests that having reached old age, people are not pressured by the need or feel the desire to pretend. Hence, they no longer “hold their lips this or that way”, or simpler; they just laugh. Their laughter rises unperturbed, right from their bellies, and like the sounds of the tambourine, it augments with force. As such, upon entering old age, inhibitions are reduced; and moreover, fewer societal restrictions pertaining to conduct are imposed upon the old, which is probably what allows the old folks the freedom to laugh as they please. However, Angelou’s poem presents another reason/angle to why the old folks laugh
