A Better Mousetrap
“You lose sixty seconds of happiness
For every minute you're mad”
So damn well cheer up everybody
Things aren't really that bad
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said
While not exactly that way
Ralphie was a pretty smart cookie
So listen to what he had to say
“If you build a better mousetrap
The world will beat a path to your door”
No truer words have ever been uttered
An old smarty pants, that's for sure
“Don't be squeamish about your actions
Life is just one big experiment”
Be not afraid to step out of the box
You could be the next company president
“You lose sixty seconds of happiness
For every minute you're mad”
So buck up my laddies and lassies
It's the best life you'll ever have!
