Laughter Can Make A Fellow Rich Not Poor
Dan Rankin 1953 (Yakima)
I am out the door
It has been a rich day and so am not poor
My friends make me rich
They make me laugh to the point I have to twitch
I laugh until my bell aches
So lets keep laughing for laughters' sake
Laughter is the best medicine I am told
So I will laugh and keep away that silly cold
I am off to bed to rest this head
My feet are light not made of lead
I am gone gone gone and now out the door
Remember I am rich and not poor
About this poem
It is about the richness of friends that makes a person feel like they are more important then money.
