This Cheerful Old Elf

This Cheerful Old Elf

Who would've thunk I'd be thrown a curve

Taking pills to relieve my stress

The stress of moving, to calm myself down

Life's like a long game of chess

You make a move and hope for the best

Experience tells you you're right

Then all of a sudden you're thrown a curve

A proverbial bullet you must bite

Not everything goes exactly as planned

Be flexible and ready for change

It'll lead to a more peaceful and happy life

Even better than fortune and fame

Who needs fame, it's a fleeting thing

The real blessings are ones you hold dear

Tell someone close you love them each day

Just like magic a smile will appear

It's sometimes hard to follow this advice

Have to keep reminding myself

There ain't no other person I'd rather be

Than this happy cheerful old elf!
