My Modus Operandi

Some days are up some are down
Seems like there's no rhyme or reason
Maybe the weather, maybe the news
Maybe it's the change of season

Usually a very upbeat old duffer
Been this way since I was a young'un
Makes for a much happier existence
At my best when I'm just a-funnin'

Like to pass on my modus operandi
But it's easier said than done
All I can say is wake up with a smile
Your days will be filled with fun

At times people say my smiling face
Can really be quite annoying
“Don't you want to strangle the cat at times
Or grab her by the tail and swing” 

Must confess I do have those days
But they're few and very far between
It's really a case of mind over matter
You'll be happier than you've ever been
