Best Medicine

L-aughter is the best medicine, 
O-bliterating the agony; 
L-et it heal the broken heart, 
I-ncluding the soul so empty. 
T-he best medicine is chuckle, it eliminates the anguish; 
O-n the thirtieth of July, woes and fret diminish. 

G-reatest medicine is chortle, 
A-ny trouble cannot prevail; 
R-efreshing your mind, 
C-reating fun far from travail. 
I-n man's deep loneliness, grief makes him fade in the wind; 
A-im to smile during distress, laughter is the best medicine.
