Happiness

Happiness is food
spaghetti slithering down my smooth lips
with spicy tomato barbecue sauce
playing like a baby
with meat.

Happiness is a river
by a beach
with seagulls and bluebirds
chirping with joy
Quak! Quak!

Happiness is a bed
at night at home
with the heater in my room
And a bambillow pillow
comfortable with my pink and bluish teddy bears.
