I know why the dead skulls smile

I know why the dead skulls smile
though their humor's out of style. 
I know why they bare their dentures:
Laughing at the living's ventures.

Is it odd the dead are laughing
at the world's choreographing?
Chicken-like we run our races,
never slowing breakneck paces. 

We all die; it's life's common goal
It's people's fate pole to pole. 
I know that the skulls laugh at us
who can't accept death without fuss.
