It didn’t trouble Wordsworth
or Longfellow or Dahl
as I’m sure when they were writing
you would never hear a snarl
So I won’t let it trouble me
for there is much in life
to write some joyful lines about
avoiding all the strife
So here to make that very point
though I’ll need to be quite snappy
are several lines to bring a smile
and leave you feeling happy
For that will be my motto
as we enter twenty-one
to by my poet’s gift ensure
each day I bring some fun
And yes I know that out there is
a lot to bring a tear
so you’ll find only those of joy
with all that you read here
