Mood Swings
Virginia Salter

Mood Swings, mood swings
come on to my mood swing
up, down, happy, frown
don't you wish I weren't a clown

Mood Swings, mood swings
ride upon my mood swing
In the sky, on the dirt
Look out, now, don't get hurt!

Mood swings, mood swings
have you seen my mood swings
Forward, back, don't attack
it's from caffeine's up and lapse.

If I seem so down and out
don't you cry, don't you pout
I'll be up again, my Friend,
I'll be up until the end.

Often, too, I've come to see
mood swings have an odd affect on me
It seems I'm able still to be
givin' out smiles and glee

For poking fun at me, you see,
helps me get on famously
Well not with the world at large
but I give smiles at no charge.

Mood swings, mood swings
cause my heart all kinds of sing
Lilting joys, raucous noise
melancholy or gaily poised.

So if you suffer just as I
have yourself some pity pie
Then top it with some ripe strawberries
and sweetened, lovely laughing faeries

Then look for a hot air balloon
so someone will take you away quite soon
So I can end this rhyme at last
for oh so many minutes passed.

Wow!  I had no idea anyone would be up and on here tonight.  I've been gone all day, and really must turn in now, but I'm happy I came in to your schizophrenic mood swings.  Enjoyed your fun...uh, Sybil?

Oh VAS, you did my mood swing alright.

It's always swinging to joy when I read your poems

This one sure says a lot, VAS.  We all get down from time to time, but before you know it, you are up again.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
