Happy Is As Happy Does

by Reese Turner

Happy? For me, it doesn’t take much
These days; Starting with when I wake
Each morning for me is a Blessing
“I’ve another day, for Heaven’s sake!"

Golf does, at times, make me happy
At other times? Well, not so much.
But, generally, happiest with friends
Out on the course, a golf club in clutch
 
On the road, in our motorhome
With spoiled dogs and my dear wife
Going from here to there with them
And camping out: That’s a happy life!
 
Adult beverages and tasty snacks
For me, happy is as happy parties
I don’t follow many healthy rules –
That's for healthy, yet, unhappy smarties
 
Sex? Happy? Not sure, if I remember…
At my age, those memories are a muddle.
But, I know, now, I’m delirious if
I can just seduce someone to cuddle.
 
Writing poetry puts me in a happy place
Although I seldom seem to win
But writing makes me so happy that
I try and try and try again!
