Happy Joyful Loneliness

The happy small ants
Are going on a boat trip
To explore the world.

The lonely turtle
Walking happily downhill
Smashing through the wind.

Joyful
was I, as
All that I wished
Has never come true
Til now.

The shaggy brainy dog
Wagging its tail silently
Finding its own food.
