A Recipe For Happiness

I need a recipe for instant happiness, For all that are feeling sad I'd start with a ray of sunshine That doesn't sound too bad Next, a sweet smile Or a baby's toothless grin, It stands out a mile As you start to mix it in This happiness recipe For all to feel and see It needs a pinch of wit From all the family A cuddle, Hug and kiss That would be hard to resist The tapping of feet To music loud and clear Someone shouting "Cheers," As he handed around beers. The sound of a piano A kitten on the keys An old gentleman dancing With bow legs and knobbly knees. A friendly Hub Hub a buzz of happiness That would be an excellent start for the recipe. I guess.
