In a brouhaha
no one really laughs
ha-ha
or experiences epiphany
aha!
no cheering crowds
hoorah

there might be an occasional
ooh-fah
or a humbuggy straightforward
bah
maybe a punch to the face, a sarcastic
ta-ta!
while laughing an evil
nyah-hah-hah!

but definitely no
tra or fa or ooh-la-la

certainly not
in a brouhaha
