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!

Tis true, Jack, as long as we don't get caught in our own traps.
