As its all getting a bit heavy on the Business as Usual thread, just remember, 'He (or she) ain't heavy - He's my brother'...

So, with that in mind, and much inspiration from a nice New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, The Singleton Whisky and Ian Drury, let's have some reasons to be cheerful.

Mr Drury and others set out some couplets below as a guide to form and content, eg, one or two lines on almost anything, with rhymes as a bonus but not compulsory.

Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three.

Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly,
Good golly, Miss Molly and boats.

Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet,
Jump back in the alley and nanny goats.

Eighteen-wheeler Scammells, Dominica camels,
All the other mammals, plus equal votes.

Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willie,
Being rather silly, and porridge oats.

A bit of 'grin and bear it', a bit of 'come and share it',
You're welcome — we can spare it; yellow socks.

Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty,
Going on forty no electric shocks.

The juice of a carrot, the smile of a parrot,
A little drop of claret, anything that rocks.

Elvis and Scotty, the days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on a potty, curing smallpox.

Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three.

Health service glasses, gigolos and brasses,
Round or skinny bottoms.

Take your mum to Paris, lighting up a chalice
Wee Willie Harris...

New Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three.

Talking as a quorum on the ToffeeWeb live forum

Damn that social distance at the wife's insistence.

Andy Capp and Florrie, even watching Corrie.

Listening to music, turn it up quite loud.

Simpson, Galton's Hancock, walking around Bangkok.

Wishing you'd been at Woodstock. The Supermarket's got stock.
