The Happiness Salesman

The Happiness Salesman

Why hello there sir! can I come in?
I believe you have misplaced your grin!
I’ll surely help you find it again,
If you’ll just let me in!

Now at first the salesman did seem ever so kind,
But if the sir were to ponder he would surely find,
That any man searching for smiles was clearly out of his mind.

Would you remove your grimace sir?
Why would you ever frown?
I’ve found your ear-to-ear right here,
Why were you ever down?
I’ve never seen a smile this wide!
My what you must’ve been feeling inside!
By the way that’ll be twelve twenty-five.

What had just happened the sir didn’t know,
It all happened so fast like a fireworks show,
And he was the stunned spectator below.

Here’s happiness in a bottle!
Or try happiness in a can.
Or just enjoy some happy winds,
From the happiness ceiling fan!
I could sell you a brand new pet!
How ’bout a happy lizard or ladybug?
And if a pet’s not what you’re looking for,
Then please just buy a hug.

At this point the sir’s face was graced with a tasteless scowl,
A sour-looking scowl followed quickly by a howl.
“I don’t want your hugs or your complimentary happiness towel!”

Ah but listen sir, you’re proving my point,
There’s no need to shake with rage.
Open the notebook of your life,
And turn to a happy page.
