There’s joylessness in cloudy sums
Pervades our thoughts till we become
Morose with gloom, quite paralyzed
Because that block grows quite outsized
Frustrating part, we know the score
We’ve headed down this path before
Let bad news, troubles, overwhelm
As doleful thinking runs pell mell -
What breaks the cycle, eases pain
Gives us the verve to smile again?
Just find a bit of cheer or sport
That stops you feeling out of sorts
A lovely moment remembered long
Sneak treacly treat, queue favourite song
A funny pic of grouchy cats
A chihuahua wearing cowboy hat…
Get out of doldrums is a start
By yeeting yeehaw in your heart!
Some quirk in day has never hurt
Go off menu, start with dessert!
Life’s craziness is all we’ve got
And whimsy hits the sweetest spots
Absurdity moves angst along
Before you know it, the blues are gone!
