When You're Laughing Poem by Paul Reed

The irksome day seems to grind you down
Steadily your face develops a frown
But then the red comes to paint the town
You forget your troubles when you're laughing;

It's easy to forget the lighter side
As all your hopes begin to slide
So give your sense of humour a ride
You forget your troubles when you're laughing;

Doctor's cures have no effect
Can't dispel the blues, leave you bereft
There's only one solution left
You forget your troubles when you're laughing;

Don't look in a glass to make you smile
Or crave heaps of money in a pile
This method is better by a mile
You forget your troubles when you're laughing
