Now Is A Time For Joy

Joy is my staff of life.
Seriousness is a wife.

Joy is my daily bread.
Seriousness is getting wed.

Joy is fun and frolic.
Seriousness is alcoholic.

Joy is present tense.
Seriousness is recompense.

Joy is playing around.
Seriousness weighs a mighty pound.

Joy is happily carefree.
Seriousness is like sun tea.

Joy is volcanic energy aflow.
Seriousness is plugging the blow.

Joy is a dream come true.
And, seriousness would stop it anew.
