Salutation

 O generation of the thoroughly smug
 and thoroughly uncomfortable,
I have seen fishermen picnicking in the sun,
I have seen them with untidy families,
I have seen their smiles full of teeth
 and heard ungainly laughter.
And I am happier than you are, And they were happier than I am; And the fish swim in the lake and do not even own clothing.
