I need a dose of daily joy
Like tonic for my soul
Like Fevikwik for broken parts
that makes me feel so whole
No matter how bad it gets
Always keep handy a vice
A time-out from your daily grind
And that’s my best advice
It need not be a vice you know
Just something that is special
A sunset, a bath, a phone call
to buttress-harness-trestle
Happiness is hard
Too many parameters at play
Difficult to evoke at will
Impossible to make it stay
But good ol’ joy ain’t that way
It’s like instant noodles
Boil it stir it slurp it
Dopamine in oodles
Yes yes do fix your life
In big and lasting ways
But keep a minute for dear old joy
It’ll keep the blues at bay
