Array ( [sid] => 40171 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Happy! [time] => 2004-03-25 04:44:04 [hometext] => Something on happiness. What does it take to be happy? [bodytext] => Are you rich?
Are you famous?
Did you win the Nobel prize?

You say no?

Are you strong?
Are you handsome?
The one 'bout whom all fantasize?

You say no?

Then why do you dance?

Are you flashy?
Are you trendy?
Did you get this pop award?

Are you hot?
Are you cute?
The one who dwells in all our hearts?

You say no?

Then why do you swing?

Dance, hot dance
For long romance

Swing, cool swing
For each short fling

Yet no romance
Not even a fling

Why are you
Floating?
Why are you
Flowing?

The skies are blue
Even greener the grass
The trees carry blushing fruit
And singing birds

This land is flat
Even straigther the streets
The sea carries whitening waves
And humming shells

I'm so happy
I just fill my lungs
And cry out
For utter joy

I just wanna dance and swing
Jump and sing
Whirl around
Upside down
On my head
On the tips of my toes

I am happy!

Yes, very happy! The sun is shining the flowers blooming, God is in His heaven, and all is right with me. Thanks for reminding me.
