Happy Me - a Poem for dVerse Poetics

 


    Happy Fellow 

I am happy happy 
Most of the time that way 
Have a smile on my face 
even more than that 

What makes me so happy 
Say because I was born 
I didn't have to be 
Who said "we don't like kids" 

My father wanted me 
I milked cows and did chores 
And so did my mother 
A happy companion 

Grandpa named me Smiley 
cause I smiled all the time 
Happy to be with him 
I was Grandma's pet too 

When I grew up, married 
had a happy marriage 
Even when we divorced 
free, happy then, three years 

Met a new wife for me 
Right away I liked her 
and she liked me also 
She's happy pioneer 

Now that I'm old and gray 
I'm happy even if 
Even if one cripples 
Even if one lives no more 

Fifty-one together 
Makes me happy hearing 
    _ _ _

Jim, I'm glad you chose that image to write to. It suits you, as you like to "keep on the sunny side of life."

May the happiness last forever!
May you live happily and keep smiling like your name- Smiley!
Is that name for real or just for the poem?
