In Desperate Need of Cheering Up Please Watch This

Priceless
Correct 

If you are down and find yourself in
desperate need of cheering up

Then laughter must surely be the
best medicine

To not only rectify but turn both
your frown and mood upside down 

Because if in fact we are then to believe
what we are and have been told 

Then may I suggest such a show that
may fulfill this remit and leave you with
a most sincere heart felt warm glow
inside

So why not try watch Granada our 
regional local news program 

Tackling the big issues of the day

Like the guy they just interviewed and
had on discussing how to conserve energy
and pay for your heating bill's

Who on the 1 hand was struggling to pay his
bill's and heat his home 

But and whereas on the other hand

Was now not only quite willing and 
prepared to exchange his old gas boiler insulation and seemingly outdated means 
of conserving energy 

So to recap no money struggling barely
able to make ends meet and currently 
afford his bill's 

Yet has absolutely no problems at all 
and is now both able to afford 

Being able to completely renovate
and upgrade his entire house as it
obviously must be as cheap as 

And I thought wow exactly just how
stupid must I be , why can't I be more
like this guy

And maybe that's because or the actual
reason is

Because either I don't have a face for
tv or relatable sense of humor or couldn't 
possibly pull that particular farce or charade
off in my wildest dreams

Especially if it is supposed to be said
with a straight face and be seriously
meant and to be believed as actual
real news
