Wakey wakey, rise and shine,
Earth’s still spinning, you’re doing fine.
All day long, think happy stuff,
If bad thoughts come, you stay real tough.
Nip it, clip it, in the bud,
Don’t let grumbles turn to mud.
Send your brain to brighter scenes,
Puppies, pizza, jellybeans.
By day’s end shining bright you’ll be,
You’re in Oak Park, go hug a tree.
And if folks stare, toss ’em a grin,
Then rinse and repeat for tomorrow’s spin.
