Remedies
 
If I ever discover the essence of happiness
I am going to bottle it
just like a Bach flower remedy
happiness in little brown bottles with yellow labels

Then I’ll stand on street corners
handing out free samples 
 
People would take it home
pouring it into an incense burner
and the fragrance of happiness
will fill their homes
they will be reminded of it forever
 
If I could do the same with sleep
it would be great

I could do with some sleep right now
