A Few Hearty Laughs Poem by Francis Duggan

For to keep the stress that is in you at bay
You do need a few hearty laughs every day
The pressures of work and the pressures of life
You need a few laughs to combat your inner strife
A good laugh is good for one who is feeling down
For one with few friends a sad sack of the town
Laughter is the best of medicine as many would agree
A relief to stress that does lead to extreme melancholy
Some people have stress levels that are quite low
And anxiety in their minds is quick for to grow
An ally against stress and depression in laughter you will find
Something natural that is quite good for the mind
It is hard for to beat a few good laughs a day
As it does help to keep the stress in you at bay.
