The Happy Poem

Okay, my wife said she was sick and tired
Of all the sad poems that I've written
She said I've written way too many
And maybe I should think about quittin'

She said, "Write something happy,
And give us all a smile"
I said, "I'm sorry, I just can't do it"
She said, "Yes you can, you're just in denial"

So, Once upon a time lived a dwarf named Happy
You know, from that Snow White thing
He was the one who always had a smile
And made all the other dwarfs sing

See, there was a reason Happy was happy
Did you notice he only had one tooth?
Yep, he really liked the Nitrous Oxide
Laughing gas junkie, and I've got the proof

I looked at his dental records for the past 20 years
And he's been there every day
See, he liked to snort the happy juice
Until the Dentist finally chased him away

Now Happy is Grumpy's twin brother
And both were as grumpy as can be
Til Happy first visited the Dentist
And they filled his first cavity

Well, now that this poem is over
I hope everyone's happy inside
And if you not, just go see your Dentist
To get a little Nitrous Oxide
