BEATING THE GLOOM

BEATING THE GLOOM

Laughter
To begin
The day
Is a sure
Way
To keep 
The blues 
At bay.

When one
Laughs
One scares
Off
What one doesn't 
Want!

This is 
Why
When I open
My eyes 
To morning
Light,
I smile, chuckle
And laugh
And in so
Doing 
I break
The spells
Of frowns
And ill temper
That were 
Cast on me
When in slumber...

It works
Like
Magic,
Like the sun
Parting
Dark rain clouds...

You truly
Ought to try
It out!

So cheers
To a 
Bright day.

Just laugh
The gloom
Away!
