In the Name of Cheerfulness

For Frank.... :)

So, let's see, cheeriness personified.
Damned if I can think of anything depressing.
Again and again, my mind goes on ever and ever,
In search of that infernal lightening rod
To which the dark and dreary are attracted.
And yet, butterflies and billowing clouds,
erupt magnificently in full bloom.
Hiding in the nooks of my cranium
fluffy bunnies and poofy flowers.
Anything really to while away the hours.
And so I write about grand battles,
frogs on crack, and ladies in your lap.
Seems this perky cheeriness is infectious....

A wink and a nod to my friend Frank. ;)

I like the purpose of your poem. The words danced with a happiness of joy to them. I enjoyed reading this positive poem. You took me to some good places with your words.

Thank you for this outstanding poem.

Wow! I'm not only genuinely flattered, I'm truly amazed! You somehow turned my nonsense into something wonderful.
If I could choose how people thought of me, I would be sincerely honored if it were exactly what you put in this poem.
Thank you, Judy. I couldn't be more pleased.
