Might As Well Have a Good Laugh

When you are in trouble and start seeing double you might as well have a good laugh Cause sorrow and crying and excessive sighing can shorten your lifespan by half If buried in debt why brood in regret when smiles are just what you need? Don't worry or panic no need to be manic far better to chuckle, indeed Has your tire lost air? Don't give it a care just change it and be on your way If right after that another goes flat then dial up your triple A If someone does hurt you and then they desert you just let it roll right off your back Let out a guffaw for there is no law requiring you to attack If hauled into court then be a good sport and burst forth in squeals of delight They may think you mad but you will be glad as they drag you off into the night No more bills to pay nor dragons to slay committed for standing the gaff In your padded cell your own private hell you might as well have a good laugh

This is so optimistically true and uplifting as well. It reminds me of an old saying that my Dad had on the way called "why worry". The gist of it was it does you no good at all.
