Always look on the Bright side of life,

Well Monty Python said it best,

Never give up but do it in jest.

We have the weather to thank for being so funny,

The British weather is far from being sunny,

We stay inside in the gloom; we stay in the pub,

We compose our prose and drink till we get gubbed,

The UK is so small, but we are masters of words,

The rest of the world, their no better than turds,

They cannot compete with our wit and our humour,

At best no better than a cancerous tumour,

Monty Python, Red Dwarf and Benny hill,

Absolutely fabulous, Faulty Towers were such a thrill,

Only Fool’s and Horses, Blackadder and more,

British comedy was never a chore,

We have developed a unique sense of humour,

So much darker and with so much rumour,

Innuendo and subtlety are just a few of the tools,

Which makes the Americans look like fools,

Their pie in the face tactics could never compare,

To the masters of linguistics that have so much flair,

The Americans on the other hand have dumbed down our world,

By removing letters of words because they are just not compelled,

We live in dangerous times but there is nothing we can do,

But we can turn to the arts and media to get us through,

The tragedy of the now, is the humour of the future,

To think of Trump as no more than a moocher,

But how will history remember this man?

Well I think a new sitcom is the only way we can,

To bring this man back to reality, let people question his sanity,

But wait we don’t have to because the real is now the fantasy,

The lines have been blurred between fact and fiction,

So what we really need to do is to get The Donald to practice his diction.

When times are difficult or the danger is real,

We turn to humour to make us feel,

To give us comfort and to give us some hope,

To keep us from danger and the hangman’s rope,

Yes we could live in fear of what might happen,

But I think let’s just turn on the TV and laugh the madman.

So always look on the Brightside of life,

Whistle on a Tuesday without a care,

Walk down the street with swagger and flair,

Laugh when someone walks into a pole,

Laugh when someone falls down a hole,

Watch the old man slip on a peel,

See his face connect with his heel,

What we really want is to see so much more

So quell that sympathy gene and laugh and roar,

Don’t be so shocked and live in the moment,

Or maybe you think there should be some atonement,

But either way, always look on the Brightside of life.
