On Dismal Days

On dismal days, don't dress for gloom; Inject some joy into the room. Reject a shirt of somber hue In favor of a brilliant blue Or neon green or red or pink To lift the spirits in a blink, For it's a shame to cede the day And, too, your mood, to shades of gray. You might not think a simple top In colors meant to dance and pop Would have the power to reverse The grayness hanging like a curse But my advice is, don't deny it 'Til, at least, you say you'll try it.
