Being A Little Dour

It’s been a while
since I wore a smile
I cannot tell you why
but, it will not make me cry
being a little dour
for a minute or an hour
makes one realise
that gloomy skies
and being a little sad
isn’t really all that bad
all it is, is the coin’s other side
part and parcel of this magical ride
and when the skies are clear again
very rarely do we feel great pain
it’s all just part of the up and down
sometimes a monarch and sometimes a clown.
