Reason to shout and not pout

If ye be down in the mouth and sporting a pout,
life's really too short for all that.
Jump up and down and get rid of that frown,
or maybe just eat some non-fat.

Sometimes it helps to soak in the tub,
it can help much more than ye think.
A little scrub here, a little scrub there,
sure helps to get rid of some stink.

So jump all around turn that frown upside down,
just do whatever it takes.
Life's just too short to be moping about,
and there really is too much at stake.

So this time of year spread ye some cheer,
sing, laugh, and dance all about.
It was this time of year, that Jesus came here,

and that's reason too shout!... and not pout!

Merry Christmas!
