Happy Town
It was a happy town
People liked each other
Whenever someone they did greet
They'd call out, "Hey there, Brother!"
The Mayor he did work for free
His job's worth he couldn't measure
He wouldn't hear of a salary
To take away all his pleasure
The children laughed and sang and played
Happy-as-could-be the livelong day
Old folks too had a smile on their face
Mighty pleased with how they'd run their race
Poems like this often end up sad
Not this one! Now aren't you glad!
