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!
