Depression .
Depression knocked on my mind
and asked to come in.
Depression like a contagious
cold tried to settle in.
I said "no" I'm sorry you
are to easy to entertain.
Then depression let off a
whimper and threatened it
was going to rain.
Happiness looked at me and
said "I am harder to keep"
"You'll have to ignore
depression's suggestions and
replace them with thoughts
that are sweet.
Depression's brother,Anger
volunteered and said
"Give me a go!Cause once I
get my logic in the road to
you is sure but slow."
Happiness overhearing this
Prepared my mind with a
sheild-cross overhead and
simply declared,
"Anger nor depression shall
not get in ,a positive thought
shall replace these by the
hair on my chinny-chin-chin."
