If You'Re Happy and You Know It

IF   YOU’RE   HAPPY  AND   YOU  KNOW    IT. . . . . 


If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands.
If you don’t clap it means  either you’re  not happy,
Or  you  don’t know that you have full  happy  glands.
There are four possibilities  in this situation,  chappy :



You’re Happy and you know  it -  clap your hands;
You’re not happy and you know it  -  do something about your life;
You’re happy and you don’t know it -  you’re unaware,  head in the sands;
You’re not happy and you don’t know it -  ask your wife.



When  I see people doing this hand-clapping business
I ask myself do they  know that they are  happy;
Or  filled with unhappiness  and  lacking  self-awareness;
Or simply clapping automatically, disguising their lives so crappy?
