The Key
If you've ever been with someone
In a pout or cranky mood,
Or one whose sheer exhaustion
Is in every bone imbued...
The key (which isn't guaranteed)
But might help, just a fraction,
Is a simple trick I've learned;
In just one word, it is - distraction!
A story or some brand-new facts
Or music good for dancing,
Some silliness or crafts or snacks
Can all be mood-enhancing.
This tip won't work in every case,
Though it's my deep belief
That if it does, you're sure to breathe
A sigh of great relief.
