On Staying Put
I wouldn't like to live on Pluto
though you gave me a box full of gin,
a thousand woolly blankets
and loads of oxygen.
I wouldn't like Mercury either
for there I'd freeze or bake.
And where on Mars or Venus
is there beer, for Heaven's sake?
I have to accept I'm an earthling,
where I may have to suffer a lot.
Happiness lies in contentment
asking little more than what you have got.
