Jeff Bresee Poet Rhyme

Chicken Every Meal

I get a little tired of it - folks who seem to think
they must be happy all the time or else they’re on the brink
of some traumatic end, oh yes, like everything is bad
if once in a blue moon they have to deal with being sad.

It makes no sense to me at all. Just what do they expect?
They should be happy day and night and never get set back.
Well, I can’t grasp it, not at all. In fact, is makes me ill
to contemplate if happiness my every moment filled.

To me that is the same as eating chicken every meal.
Why would I want that? God forbid! It simply isn’t real
to think you can be happy if that’s all you ever know.
You can’t, so just relax a bit… and let your feelings flow.

Josefina Costales February 27, 2024 at 4:24 PM The title caught my eye. And to think some people can be happy eating chicken every meal. But comparing it to people who want to be happy all the time is ingenious - and you're right, you can't. And people who expects that deserve to eat chicken every meal.lol
