Old Black Dog (song for depression sufferers)
Winston Churchill sat in a wingback chair
chewing an expensive cigar.
The sun shone down on the world outside.
It was raining in his heart.
Clementine said, "Winnie, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, dear. It's just the old black dog."
Just the old black dog.
Just the old black dog.
I'll be better before long.
Abe Lincoln crossed the muddy street
staring down at his big brown feet.
Another prairie lawyer day...
I've got that cursed hypo again!
He said: "It's a misfortune but it's not a fault."
Abe knew what it is to fight the old black dog.
Fight the old black dog.
Fight the old black dog.
You'll be better before long.
Charles Spurgeon lay in his big brass bed.
Melancholia whupped his head.
Praying, "Lord, how many more weeks
until the gospel I can preach?"
The Arminians said it was his Calvinist sin
made the old black dog take a bite out of him.
But it's just the old black dog.
Just the old black dog.
I'll be better before long.
I'll be better.

Thank you so much for the welcome, Cleo. Best wishes to you in this new year too! : )
Winston Churchill also said the following:
"If you're walking through a hell don't stop when you cross it, run as..."
If pursue you the black dog, the black dog!
Abraham Lincoln repeated over and over again that individual freedom ends up where it started collective freedoms and that fear is like a black dog that looks at us, like a great black dog!
"Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves"
Charles Spurgeon was to report publicly all those weak knowledge of fashion, and that the nonsense are like those black dogs that will not let us rest.
"The goose that lays the golden eggs likes to lay where there are eggs already"
Big three names to try to drive away sadness and depression, depressions are like those packs of black dogs to frighten us and keep us from walking.
Greetings, I loved the poem.
