Smile!
Go on, giggle!
I do dare you!
We don’t laugh enough
Nowadays, it’s true.
The stresses and strains
Of modern life,
Tensions between
Hubby and wife.
Kids drive us crazy,
Work as well,
Is it really so bad,
This place where we dwell?
Step back,
Take a glance,
And you’ll see
There’s a chance,
That some things
Are funny.
It’s not all
About money.
So go on, take a breath,
Now a big belly laugh!
Not a little polite one,
Don’t do things by half!
If onlookers think
You’re looking quite mad
Remind yourself
Their lives must be sad.
Encourage a titter
A guffaw, a chuckle
Laugh so hard
That you need to buckle!
So go on, giggle,
I really dare you,
For laughter is medicine,
That really is true.
