Happy Occasions

A party is to celebrate
  one of life's happy occasions
A get-together reaches out
  to folks of diverse persuasion

Going out on the town
  gets us up from our couches
Though going out to eat
  may turn our stomachs to slouches

The main thing's we keep busy
  as we move through life's stages
Birthdays, Weddings, Anniversaries
  all use up work's wages

Just make sure before you die to leave over a tip
  So you can spend eternity comfortably, R.I.P.

Smiles are (one of) the best things poetry can leave. I am duly flattered. Thank you, Panagiota!

Trying to keep the smile on your face, from the joy in your heart, is all. :) gw
