A Recipe For Happiness

I need a recipe for instant happiness,
For all that are feeling sad
I'd start with a ray of sunshine
That doesn't sound too bad
Next, a sweet smile
Or a baby's toothless grin,
It stands out a mile
As you start to mix it in
This happiness recipe
For all to feel and see
It needs a pinch of wit
From all the family
A cuddle, Hug and kiss
That would be hard to resist

The tapping of feet
To music loud and clear
Someone shouting "Cheers,"
As he handed around beers.
The sound of a piano
A kitten on the keys
An old gentleman dancing
With bow legs and knobbly knees.
A friendly Hub Hub a buzz of happiness
That would be an excellent start for the recipe.
I guess.
