Giggly Pills

My dear old mummy and daddy Took giggly pills 'fore I was born It's the reason I came out a jester Right away started tossing out corn Chuckles soon became ingrained Even therapy didn't work The therapist soon got afflicted too By this same old silliness quirk The only cure that's known to man Watch the news on TV every day Guaranteed to get rid of your happy A week will do it, I'd say So give it a shot, my dear, dear friends It'll fill you with so much joy The sun will shine brightly every day The world, your brand new toy © Jack Ellison 2012

One reason that I avoid watching the news - such a bummer. This is a cute one - love the silly imagery that you have mastered. Always, Laura

You do have the magic pills alright. I find myself cracked up every time I read your poems, Jack. You give me the giggly spells. Too much, Jack. You are just too funny. Lol.
