SAYS THE HAPPY GUY
By Jim Manee
When you wake up in the early mom
With a grouch, steer clear of me.
I want no sulkin' where I am,
All things must cheery be.
If you can laugh and tell a pun
And cast a joyful charm;
If you can bubble o'er with fun,
Why come and take my arm.
P. S. One man with the "auto"
smile spirit is worth two with a sulky
gronch.
