New Friends And Old Friends comical poem 541 by Angela Lansbury

 It's always good to find a friend

When you have a lot in common

But you can say, have a nice day

Even to a smiling moron.

When you don't have a lot to do

Or when busy, in a hurry

A simple smile can make your day

And lift you out of your worry


Don't waste life, grumbling, spreading hate

To fill time when queues make you late

Find others to commiserate

Make friends with others forced to wait


A nod or wave won't make you late 

But puts you in a happy state

Do tai chi when you're stuck at home

With music on a telehone


A few kind words can make your day

If you find something good to say

So fill your days with words of praise

And recall smiles from yesterday.


A simple cure for baseless sorrow

Is note the good things of good days

Save them up to say tomorrow

Others will recall you with praise.
