Dundry Hill.

`Let's be happy always.`
"You can't", said Tom Tit.
The little prick was right.
We needed the bad times.

Once wracked in pain,
having no pain was all we needed,
until we forgot
and needed more.
Pleasure, sweet fickle pleasure
could only ever be brief.

"Embrace your pain",
said Tom Tit.
"But never enjoy it".
Once again,
he had a point.

We broke his nose.
He cried like the boy
he used to be.
But beneath the snot trails
that glistened pink,
moonlit, on Dundry hill,
he hid a secret smile.

Bump!

I would agree with Tom Tit about embracing whatever you are experiencing. It looks like he got a chance to practice what he preached.

Thanks for bumping this, Delta40. It was enjoyable.

An oldie but a goodie.
It's true, as well. If you didn't have bad times, how would you appreciate the good ones? It does seem however that the former outnumber the latter.
