Laugh a Little Bit.
Here’s a motto just your tit Laugh a little hit. When you think you’re trouble hit, Laugh a little bit. Look misfortune in the face, Hrave the beldam’s rude grimace; Ten to one ’tw ill yield its place. If you have the wit and grit Just to laugh a little bit. Cherish this as sacred writ Laugh a little bit. Keep it with you, sample it, Laugh a little bit. Little ills will sure betide you, Fortune may not sit lieside you, Men may mock and fame deride you, But you’ll mind them not a whit, If you laugh a little bit. -J. E. V. Cooke, in Cheerful Moments.
