Smile At Your Miseries

I sit here enjoying a wonderful sunset One of the prettiest I’ve ever seen yet When out of the sky something awful did drop And right on my head went plop, plop, plop. I was furious and angry and ready to cry When I looked up into the reddening sky And saw the cause of the yuck smiling at me Allowing me to laugh at this minor misery. Sometimes stuff happens is the saying they say Only they use the word of what on my head lay But I found out on this beautiful day That if you continue to smile it will be okay.
