HOW TO DEAL WITH AN OPTIMIST

How does one deal with an optimist…
who sees the good in everything!
Who, when caught out in the rain,
instead of swearing….sings!

How does one deal with an optimist
who, after losing all his hair,
says, think of all the money I’ll save
not sitting in a barber’s chair.

Who after being told he’ll never run again
smiles after taking stock
then says…”Think of all the wonders I’ll see
when I slow down…when I walk.”

Who at the funeral of a friend
is smiling while the rest of us are sad…
“I was just remembering,” he says
“all the good times that we had.”

How does one tell an optimist,
when life’s handed you lemons and your nerves are frayed,
that no matter how much sugar she adds…
you can’t stand lemonade?

Well, I have found the answer to dealing with an optimist,
although half of you I’m sure will find this solution a dumb one,
For the best way to deal with an optimist

heaven help me…is to become one.
