The World Is a Happier Place-
Now there are rainbows & lollipops bounding
Through fields full of buttercups
All dancing, no frowning
Now this place is a festival
Where no one has far to go
To reach the nearest bathroom
Or learn the word 'vestibule'
Now there are lights in each window
& darkness is far away
But somewhere deep & secret,
A single lone child is praying for rain today
