Why Worry?

"Worry, my old friend,
Where've you been?
Where've you been?
It's been minutes since
I've seen your sorry face!

Worry, where'd you go?
For it seems
I've missed you so,
That I couldn't cope
With happy thoughts
That tried to take your place!"

So, worry came back, knocking
At my door,
At my door,
Just when I thought
I simply couldn't
Worry anymore,

"I can see that you've
Been working out,
How wonderful!
How wonderful!
I almost fell asleep
In pleasant dreams,
But, I was worried
That a whole night's sleep
Without you,
Yes, without you,
Would leave my life a bore,
Livened only by my snore!"
