If You Want To Be Gloomy

Want more moroseness? Anger? Gloom?
Here is my sage advice. Stay in your room.
Expect lots of energy-stealing doom.
Keep the lights out, focus on the goodness of bad.
Glare, whine, pout, and bring on your best sad.
If this does not work for you, turn on the news.
Beware however, it’s only other people’s views.

Excellent advice, bordering on the hilarious -- and yet, actually 100% 'bang-on,' as T.C. (Tom Cunningham) puts it. ~ Bang-kok

I have to admit the sun helps alleviate these bad mood days

So true. Excellent advice. Next time I feel rotten, I'm going to do exactly that!
