I’ll Come Show You


What can be said about happiness?

He said it doesn't apply to him
an inarguable belief of mere expense-
an acceptable amputated limb
a tolerable slump to decadence.

What can be said about the proverbial cake?

I said happiness is not sliced and rationed
it doesn't exhaust because you had some before-
"can't have your cake and eat it too" fashioned
by some guy who didn't know how to bake more.

(tap tap tap)...testing 1 2 3...is this thing on?
Listen here to what I say...and don't dare say I'm wrong:



The ingredients are inside you, friend
if you need some help, I've a recipe-
you shake and I'll stir, together we'll blend
because the concept of unhappiness to me
is arguable, unacceptable, and intolerable
see?

You can have your cake and eat it too,
just sit tight, I'll come show you.
