Happy Guy Jack

Knee deep in problems? See Happy Guy Jack! He'll make you feel better Forget all that crap! Junk that's been filling Your life and your brain No need for that bad stuff Don't need all that pain! Just give it the boot! Say, "Take off outta here"! Then giggle and cackle And go have a beer! The world will go on If you worry or not Don't be such a silly Give happy a shot! A broken record? Me pushing this stuff? You'll soon catch my drift Then won't get enough You'll beg Happy Jack To bring more good cheer So smile, damn it, smile! Now go have that beer! © Jack Ellison 2012

The best kind of therapy is Happy-Guy-Jack therapy. Cute piece here. I have much to catch up on as always, but I'll do my best and hopefully not overwhelm you with all my comments! Always, Laura

Lol, worry and regurgitate your thoughts won't solve any problems. Only make you tired. True, Jack. When you are happy then you are at your best to be able to solve anything that comes your way. I think I will have a beer. Lol. Nah, I don't drink. I'll have a Sprite. That's what I'll do :) Have a giggle, cackle day!

- Words and thoughts that I should take care of when things get difficult. - - I could have teach you some good words in Norwegian that would look good in this poem, Jack ..... (but they did not fit the "Sunday school") - Hope Christmas will be a nice and peaceful for you and your family. - oxox / / Anne Lise :)
