Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Atmospheric Pressure

We all have our highs and lows
 That make us happy or sad
We are like the weather I suppose
 Which is sometimes good and sometimes bad
 The lows bring rains to make the flowers grow
 The highs bring sunshine and summer's glow
 
 Our anger can whip up like a hurricane
  with the fury of its wind
  Your own blood pressure may rise again
  Much to your own chagrin

 So it pays to keep a sunny smile
 And let the weather have its highs and lows
 And you'll find that after a while
 Your happiness will flow
