A Happiness Sermon

Gloomy old Gus sure ain't my claim to fame Upbeat and happy, they're both my middle names There sure ain't no future in promoting ill will Every morning the sun still peeks over the hill There's enough negativity in the world to go round So let's not encourage this scourge with a frown You've only got one life to live then it's done So let's be remembered for promoting good fun It may seem quite difficult at times to achieve But it's never too late if we all still believe Things will be better for our kids and their kids If we just put our trust in the joy in our midst In this happiness sermon I'm trying my best Some say you'll never succeed in your quest But I say to these nay sayers, listen my friends No one's invincible so laugh till the end
