    Happiness

    Well, my friend
    you have got to
    create it
    invent it
    reinvent it
    choose it
    work it
    revise it
    hatch it up
    hunt it down
    then you have to lose it
    and then
    find it all over again

    the gods make plenty of happiness,
    hell, they give it away in bundles,
    but
    few people have it
    so be on the watch
    when they offer it to you.

    It is a beautiful struggle

    and the only one there is.

    A positive poem, Tony, filled with optimism!

    Thanks. There's much to be positive about. For instance, today I saved a little bird stuck in a hole. Maybe I will save the whales some day - in the meantime I'm going to sip this martini

    That was very kind, Tony, the bird was certainly happy. Saving the wales an other animals is more difficult. Just now they are killing more of those animals mink coats are made of because of corona.
