Confessions of a Happy Person

Standing at the kitchen sink My wife quips “you are one happy person” It is right there and then I realized I have been found out Time to confess I am one of “those” “happy people” And a morning person to boot I admit I am an ice –cream-aholic Hooked on chocolate Rocky road, 2 scoops Left to my own devices I play hooky My favorite vice mid day movies Yes chick flicks And I buy the ludicrously priced pop corn Next up on the list a get away at the spa Even if I fall asleep during the deep massage Cruise ships are my Achilles heel Where else do they make your bed Feed you 24 hours a day And you can hide from the world My flexible job schedule allows for daytime bike rides Who doesn’t want to be a kid again wind blowing through your hair The bane of my existence, poetry writing Anytime, anywhere at the drop of a hat or spur of the moment To espouse words of wisdom or not And connect with family, friends and complete strangers Yes, there are up and down days but as the saying goes “Be Happy” Andreas Simic©
