Zowie, Yikes and Holy Gadzooks

Zowie, yikes
And holy gadzooks!
It's that really silly
Poetry kook

Coming at you
With giggles galore
Funnies, chuckles
And so much more

A formula for sailing
Right through the day
Laugh at your troubles
It's better that way

No sense complaining
It makes you feel sad
Just think of it folks
Things really aren't bad

It could be worse
You could live in a shoe
Have dozens of kids
And animals too

No place to sit
While watching TV
Need to draw numbers
For a seat if you please

I'm a bit off the track
'Cause it's all about fun
Choose every day
To follow the sun

Really no matter
If clouds fill the sky
You can still go 'round
With a gleam in your eye

Zowie, yikes
And holy gadzooks!
Hope I've helped
Getting rid of your spooks

If just for an instant
Or just for a while
It's mission accomplished
If I've made someone smile
