CHEERS

Say not your day is dreary
rather, try to be cheery,
for being glum is no fun,
a feeling of doom brings only gloom,
while a positive attitude is a great asset
a constant negative one, may put you in a casket,
friendliness will get you smiles,
unpleasantness, avoidance in miles,
your litany of complaints galore
your listener will surely abhor,
so instead of being a sourpuss
turn your cheeks into a plus,
happiness can contagious be and
boomerang for you and me.
