Poem
Health got you down? Blood pressure's up? Can't sleep at night? Nothing left in your cup? Hey! Take it easy! Kick back! Settle down! You take life too seriously! Go find your inner clown! Kid around! Tell a joke! Think of a funny riddle! Come on, Jack: Pick up your fiddle. Hey diddle-diddle! Don't be a crank. Play a prank! Give yourself some room. The best Rx for you Is to cast off your gloom! Don't believe me? Think it's all hoo-ey? Ready to stick out your tongue And go PHOO-EY? Well, I'll tell you what happened To my friend at the doc's; When they read him his blood pressure, His knees 'gan to knock; It was up there so high, He was sure he'd soon die... Then the doc came in, Flashed a silly grin, His fingers stroking The imaginary Beard on his chin, My friend thought this so funny, He laughted his nose runny, Til Doc gave him more news: He had the 'urine test blues.' Well, that really did it, My friend couldn't quit Laughing and guffawing Til his sides nearly split. When he fin'lly calmed down, Doc said, "Sit back and rest. It's time to retake that silly Blood pressure test." And what do you know? Lo and behold, When the reading was taken, My friend's heart no longer was achin,' And his pulse had stopped racin.' "Good Heavens!" cried Doc, "We musta been mistaken! Either that or all these yuks musta Fixed ye: Your blood pressure's down to 110 over 60!"
