For Good or Ill and what it's Worth

A stuffy nose at Christmas,
an annoying New Year's cough.
Are nothing but a harbinger
of laughing illness off.

Do not submit to sickness,
but joke at it instead.
If illness does not get your joke,
it just may see you dead!

So let the New Year see you healthy
and the old year bless your eyes.
To see yourself wealthy,
if not well and wise.

And if not wealthy right away,
wise and well will do today.
