Defeating Doldrums

My room is adorned with daffodils;
they are better than modern pills.
Their cheerfulness snuffs away the blues,
curing all ailments including flu.

Upbeat music brushes aside gloom,
as popular songs float through the room.
Tapping my foot I begin to dance;
down in the dumps never has a chance.

Smiling faces beam from silver frames;
the warm feeling bursts into a flame.
Boredom goes up in a puff of smoke,
remembering their laughter to jokes.

The familiar ringing of the phone;
tells loneliness it will not condone,
its infliction of pain to my heart,
and tells me that we will never part.
