Depression

Depression Sit on the porch an hold his hand, tell him he has to be the man, don't let bitterness spoil the plan, your loving kindness will help you maam ... the ole dog sits in the background, an your spirit it is down, the nasty world sits on your shoulder, snivels like a worthless hound, so spring up like a young mountain goat, leave the sniveler far behind, a smile on ya dial, just a grinning some chile, because it's such a beautiful day... Don
