Ralphie Boy

“You lose sixty seconds of happiness

For every minute you're mad”

So damn well cheer up everybody

Things aren't really that bad

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said

While not exactly that way

Ralphie was a pretty smart cookie

So listen to what he had to say

“If you build a better mousetrap

The world will beat a path to your door”

No truer words have ever been uttered

An old smarty pants, that's for sure

“Don't be squeamish about your actions

Life is just one big experiment”

Be not afraid to step out of the box

You could be the next company president

“You lose sixty seconds of happiness

For every minute you're mad”

So buck up my laddies and lassies

It's the best life you'll ever have!
