Happiness?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes I wish I

were a little more happy.

But I just feel

so darned sad.

 

Sometimes with myself I

get a little angry.

Sometimes I get

a little mad.

 

It's said to "Look

for the silver lining."

But all I see

is the dark cloud.

 

I try to quite

the uneasy voices.

But sometimes they are

Four Leaf Clover

 

Four Leaf Clover
 
I saw two leprechauns last night
Doing a dance around our garden light
 
So I snook out the front, and down our back alley
with my hood pulled up just like a scally
 
Scaled next doors fence, then over ours
with a fishing net and two jam jars
 
Then I crept up…..I caught the two
They didn’t know just what to do
