Happylanders

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Happylanders do not brook dissension
Nor is slight contention thought a gem
All desired is sweet and light suspension
All avoided if thought 'down' to them

Happy-landers know life is not easy
But we must not dwell or even light
On a thing which qualifies as queasy
Dwell instead on things which cause delight

Beautiful! think I in jealous wonder
Marvelous! to focus on the fun
Even if a life is torn asunder
All the negativity we shun

All those folks whose nature is too somber
We'll endure most fleetingly for sure
Yet quite swiftly from them we'll off-wander
Hoping they'll find others to endure

Even when you'd like to be admitted
To the greatest Happyland soiree
Doubt your view will likely be acquitted
In the court of Happyland today

Rest assured no judgment is forthcoming
Never from a Happylander lip
Even when your attitude is bumming
And a chat with you they'd love to skip

Still take heart my dear non-Pollyanna
Every life admits its Eeyore - true
If you've sung no Happyland hosanna,
Trust in faith there's nothing wrong with you

When you're not in Happyland by nature
When you're born a solemn, somber Gus
You're not wrong in any nomenclature
And perhaps there's many more of us

[grant hayes]

A cheer for taciturn melancholics everywhere: huzzah!!

This is a delight to read, Rhymist.

Yours,
Eeyore

Lol - me too sometimes

If Eeyore took a pill, he could be Winnie, too. But sometimes a pill just won't do. Anywho, I would not be surprised to hear those Happylanders have just as many downers as the Eeyores. They just disguise it with mournful mirth. Thanks for sharing RLW.
