Exuberance
To define the word 'exuberance'
One need not go to the Net
Watch two puppies meet on the street
That's as happy as happy gets
That's real 'exuberance' personified
As they tug upon the leash
Tails both wagging a mile a minute
A couple of ecstatic beasts
What if we allowed 'em both to go free
Exploring until they dropped
They'd surely be two happy pooches
Till in their dog house they flopped
We could learn a lesson from these guys
Begin each day with a smile
Cram in as much as you possibly can
Never know if it's your final mile
