A great missive arrived today

A fabulous communiqué

I can’t believe this happy news,

It has me tickled, most amused!

 

An influential Swiss committee

Made romcom reading mandatory!

“The people in this land are sad,

It can’t go on, it’s really bad.”

 

“Happiness must be restored,

Across the land, and then paid forward.

Our belief in the power of giggles

Had all of us in quite a jiggle.”

 

“We did research, real serious stuff,

And found a need for frothy fluff.

Literary snobs can eat their hats,

In black and white we’ve got the stats!”

 

The government has passed a law,

Instated April first ‘24

“The good people of Switzerland,

Need romantic comedies for good health.”

 

As of today in this country

No more glum faces we will see.

Instead of chocolate or eating sweets,

Choose romcoms as your daily treats!

 

And throughout the land Swiss people danced,

Brandishing romcoms in their hands!

Across the world please spread this news,

Follow Switzerland’s lead and beat the blues!

 

 (as it happens I have just the book!)
