The Happy

Happy, happy, happy!
That's the way I am,
Laughing, grinning, giggles!
I smile because I can!

Love, love, love!
That's my favorite thing,
Hearts, flowers, chocolate!
I swear, I could just sing!

Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows!
Oh, don't they bring such joy?
Sunshine, sparkles, happiness!
I'm only here to annoy—

Oh, dear.

So sorry if you read the above,
I forgot to take my pills
How did you manage to get through that?
Did you know that stuff can kill?

An overdose of Happy
Can permanently damage the brain—
Perhaps you should see a doctor
And from this poetry refrain,

I would suggest this highly,
In fact, you should take heed,
This amount of joy
I hope you'll never read.

Go on and find something else
To pass the time away
Because if you continue this,
Believe me, you will pay

Oh look, I'm out of medication
I used the last just now
What consequences will this have?
Oh, I wonder how—

I feel The Happy coming in!
Quick, run away! Go!
How much longer can I suppress this?
Not even I can know—!

Hello there! Are you feeling glum?
Perhaps I can help out!
I love rainbows, ponies and sugary sweets!
Of this I have no doubt!

Let's be friends! We'll be the best!
I can assure you this!
What's that, you say? Speak up, my friend!
My other self you miss?

Oh, I see. I understand now,
It's all perfectly clear—
You use me up then spit me out,
How could you do this, dear?

All I wanted was to make you smile!
That I promise is my mission,
But I suppose you're in denial
And you, my friend, won't listen

So go read your dark depressing works,
That speak of woe and night,
I'll just be here, waiting alone
But when the time is right...

I shall reprimand! Oh yes, I shall
And you WILL see the day
When happiness, rainbows, and lots of love
Will make you all pay!
