I'll Drink to Good News

I’ll drink to good news that came all unplanned

out of the blue and I’m making hay,

while in the sky the sun’s warm ray

expands my spirit as wide as the land.

Such ground breaking news my efforts demand

to garner fresh words to honour the day.

I’ll drink to good news that came quite unplanned

out of the blue and I’m making hay.

I’d prepared a brave spirit to face beforehand

with stoic acceptance a nay or a yea.

But as it’s turned out I am blessed with a nay.

The test was proved negative, conclusively and

I’ll drink to good news that has come quite unplanned.
