Beat the Blues

Have you ever felt in a funk?
I mean really truly blue.
I’ve got some great advice,
Here’s what you need to do.

Jump into a big mud puddle,
Or an enormous pile of leaves.
Find a wonder in nature,
Study the web a spider weaves.

Don’t forget to pet your dog,
Or help a friend in need.
A blue day is the best day
To perform a good deed.

When something’s got you down
And you’re feeling a bit of pain,
Try to smile with the shining sun,
Or laugh at the falling rain.

Bruce Larkin
