I have a friend, his name is Jim,

And everyone is kind to him.

He’s never out of step with life.

And rarely nagged at by his wife.

I’ve heard him say in  pouring rain:

‘O, well, the sun will shine again.’

If things go ill he has the will

To keep on bravely smiling still.

When trouble comes –  why, Jim can take it.

He says that life is what you make it!
