EVERYDAY STUFF
Modified Philosophy

Happy the man with temper mild
Whose heart is trusting as a child;
For though a knave may cheat
him
Or fall upon him unawares,
He nothing knows and nothing
cares;
And Joy ZONES out to meet him.
But when injustice kills his languor
The knave will likely feel his anger.
Happy the man, for heaven meant,
Who lives a life of sweet content,
Unblemished by ambition.
No envy stirs his placid soul.
He for his spirit sets no goal.
He has no wild-eyed mission.
But when a bump Gisturbs his
laughter
That guy will get what he goes
after!
