A Happy Nation

We are glad to be in the audience when someone stands up and tells a lie that is why weddings and funerals are so very popular. We are glad it is not us giving the speech. We are glad to watch someone fall a fat person or a teenager or a pretty young girl in a short dress. Thankful not to be the one getting up with a bleeding knee. .We are glad when we drive by some poor joker on the side of the freeway with a flat tire. Glad we bought the expensive Michelins. We are glad at work when we get a raise that we don’t deserve. Glad to have the extra money. We are glad to sing hymns in the church from a hymnal. Glad that there is rock-en-roll on the radio on the trip home. We are a very happy nation – a glad people.
