Laugh a Little Bit by Edmund Vance Cooke

Here's a motto, just your fit - 
Laugh a little bit.
When you think you're trouble hit,
Laugh a little bit.
Look misfortune in the face
Brave the beldam's rude grimace:
Ten to one 'twill yield it's place,
If you have the wit and grit
Just to laugh a little bit.

Keep your face with sunshine lit,
Laugh a little bit.
All the shadows off will flit,
If you have the grit and wit
Just to laugh a little bit.

Cherish this as sacred wit -
Laugh a little bit.
Keep it with you, sample it,
Laugh a little bit.
Little ills will sure betide you,
Fortune may not sit beside you,
Men may mock and fame deride you,
But you'll mind them not a whit,
If you laugh a little bit.

  1. I refuse to grow old.
    I have 2 girlfriends I take out in Bucharest and MANY girlfriends in that city that I talk to.
    As a taxi driver, I meet many lovely women.
    I refuse to stop hoping....
