I think the very best remedy, <br /> To get rid of cares and woes; <br /> Is simply to sit and laugh, really <br /> Until your sadness goes. <br /> Too sad to laugh we say however, <br /> As we sit feeling sorry for me; <br /> But this will never ever do, <br /> In finding us some glee. <br /> The first step is to look at yourself, <br /> Such a droop! Such a mope; <br /> The second step is to watch all the sadness <br /> working on you, <br /> And trying to make you feel as if there's no hope. <br /> You dope! Don't mope! <br /> And count each bitter care that you craft; <br /> Instead, show sadness just who's boss, <br /> And replace that wretch with a laugh. <br /> And now that you have laughed once my friend, <br /> And thought of how silly you looked before; <br /> Do you feel the lift that's come to you as you laugh, <br /> And laugh some more? <br /> So to anyone who feels the sickness of being sad must be, <br /> Pass on to him the secret of laughter; <br /> My friend, The World's Best Remedy!<br /><br />Bonita Sasso Pistilli<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-world-s-best-remedy/
