My Happy Hacienda

Okay good people, time for some giggles
To maintain my smiley countenance
Could it be I was born to spread laughter
To brighten each day per chance

If that's true, I take this honour seriously
Every day I'll try giving it my best
Spreading sunshine with uplifting words
Roaring and beating my chest

One thing I've realized in all my long years
Each day is an absolute treasure
We must always maintain a positive outlook 
This joy is impossible to measure

So now you know what makes this guy tick
Quite simply, no hidden agenda
Just getting through from point A to B
While maintaining my happy hacienda

Ole'. Yesterday, I couldn't get into the PoetrySoup Site! Someone had hacked the captcha stuff. But Dragon and I are BACK. Just goes to prove you can't keep a good Dragon down! LOL... And later today I'll put up a new 'Night at the Museum' poem. Want to look at it and make changes first before throwing it up there. Still having trouble writting... But like Dragon and you... Nothing can stop me! Tho it can slow me down, a little.... Ole'
