The Rough with the Smooth

How can you be happy unless you’ve been sad, 
ya can’t be an old man without first bein a lad, 
Its harder to run without learnin to walk, 
And we all tend to gurgle when learning to talk. 
You cannot be fat without first being thin, 
And you cannot go out unless you’ve been in. 
Whoever you may be, life is all ups and downs, 
Sometimes its smiles and sometimes its frowns, 
But no mans an island, you’re not on your own, 
Theres family and friends at the end of your phone, 
To laugh during good times and cry during bad, 
To pick up your spirits if you’re low and feel sad. 
You can even ring up if you just need to vent, 
Cos your friends and your family know its not meant. 
So don’t worry, be happy, and have a good time, 
Before all world governments make it a crime!
