I only wear Hawaiian shirts when I go to bed  
I slept on my ear funny, it laughed until it was dead
I rang the doctor, to get him to try and fix me
Realized I couldn’t hear, so I got down on one knee
I cried “Oh lord, I am not really a praying man
But I think in this case you’ll see my cause and understand”
Then, as out of nowhere, a lamb appeared
I grabbed some wool and stuck it in my ear

I keep my Christmas lights up all year
I like the colours, not that I just don’t care

Mother says inside till I have done my chores
She naps upstairs and gives the anthem of snores
Cleaning my room, trying to sort out my drawers
Saw my collection of mementos from sixteen years
Origami, postcards, birthday cards, homework, foreign t-shirts
Grandpa’s cufflinks, small suspenders and newspaper exerts
Wonder why they are stuck inside the cupboard’s pinewood
So I take them out, and release them to pasture like I should

I wear my sunglasses when it rains
That way I don’t see the street stains
I love beign happy. This poem makes me happy. I love it. I hope you do to.

this is AMAZING.
I have not seen one song that actually understands happiness, but this one, this one does.
