when doom and gloom
invade your room
when blue and grey
shade your day
fling them off
don’t let them stay
crank up the music
dance like a deva
wear something
saucy sexy foxy
really spoil yourself
ensures mental health
be slightly obscene
you are the dancing queen
dissipates stress
makes you mistress
of your own kind heart
singing out loud
dispels that cloud
laugh and giggle
let those hips wriggle
bounce about
let love flow out
create a brighter mood
eat some naughty food
chat with someone close
extinguish any morose
paint life with colour
d’Verse, ABBA, Lillian – italics is the inserted song line … thanks Bjorn!

Very nice photo of Kangaroo’s Paw. I can resonate with your post. Doom and gloom has invaded me as I have been diagnosed with cancer and will be undergoing the knife in 12 days. Hopefully it has not spread and I will live to laugh with Garfield.
