If you want true happiness   

pick up a dictionary because

happiness is in there

it comes ready for you to

pull it from the page

!

If you want fried potatoes      

you don’t go to the bedroom silly

pick some potatoes from the ground

in your garden or lo and behold

from the bin at the grocery

!

If you want to peel, slice, and fry them up

and put them next to happiness

from the dictionary, then go ahead

it might just make you even happier

to add some ketchup (or catsup) too

!

If you want to see the sun come up     

well, I guess you’ll have to get your

lazy self out of bed first

before the sun itself decides to rise

or you’ll miss it for sure

!

If you want to pierce your belly button     

you just might have to ask

your lover first, because your

lover might not like a piercing there

might he not?

!

If you want to be a smart cookie      

all you have to do is

think smart, and I suppose

it wouldn’t hurt to act a little

smart along the way as well

!

If you want to forget every     

single solitary little bit of good

advice I have given you

then go ahead, but don’t blame me

if your dreams never materialize
