Laughter

What good is life worth living
If life you can't laugh at
All the ups and downs mixed with the ins and outs
Each time you're up to bat

If you find you can't take it standing up
Then try sitting down
Laughter adds spice to this salt of life
When its flavor is around

If you're new to this and need a good laugh
Try laughing at yourself
It'll give to you a new attitude
Which can only help

To erase the problems 
Of the dreaded woe is me
Which causes a drag in the time that you have
So set the laughter free

Guaranteed to make your life worth living
Each time you're up to bat
Through the ins and outs mixed with the ups and downs
When you find something to laugh at
