Let Laughter Ring

I love to sing the lalalalaaaaaa
do, re, me, fa, so, la, te, do!
and stand up front and entertain
though some say I sing, just, so-so.

What’s that pitch, Oh, what is the key 
and the beat's a one- two, one- two?
I say leave me be, can’t you see 
I’m HAPPY as Winnie the Pooh!

I make you laugh, I make you cry
though why, we are really not sure
"Perhaps, the why," says I,"is that
singing is my passion pure."

I call to you to join in the fun
let us all sing a round or three?
So, you’re not perfect, well, I say
you are just right to sing with me!

Rock your socks off , stamp your feet
Ring the rafters to the down beat
Once again GO, have a real treat
Find your voice SING and then repeat!

Smile ~ "Yes," as soon as the choirs assembled then perhaps, We can All somehow join in in hopes to find that hopeful, possible, melodious note which, causes the Angels upon high to cry but, we'll all have to work a tad bit upon Our, vocal chords it somehow seems or, maybe not!? Smile, "Sweet, 'Dear Precious & Lovely, Debra Guzzi;' My Love & Warmth to 'You Always' &, All You Love," John! ~ "Have A Very 'Blessed & Beautiful' Evening Dear;" Bye!:) ~
