On Dismal Days

On dismal days, don't dress for gloom;
Inject some joy into the room.
Reject a shirt of somber hue
In favor of a brilliant blue

Or neon green or red or pink
To lift the spirits in a blink,
For it's a shame to cede the day
And, too, your mood, to shades of gray.

You might not think a simple top
In colors meant to dance and pop
Would have the power to reverse
The grayness hanging like a curse 

But my advice is, don't deny it
'Til, at least, you say you'll try it.
