What Makes Me Happy

Charlie Landsborough


What makes me happy
Where do I start
When each new day brings 
Another million things to causes a ripple on the waters of my
heart

From every corner 
1 2 3 4
A kaleidoscope 
Of happiness and hope comes knocking at my door

If I had a million fingers
On which to count 
I would use up those 
And start upon my toes
And never have the right amount
Of things that leaves me 
And makes me smile
Those everyday things that makes my life worthwhile

I can sing 
I can dance like there's ants in my pants
I can jump like a lovesick flea
I can slither like a snake
I can shimmy and shake like the sheik of Aribee

What makes me happy 
The list extends 
From the love that lies in an old dogs eyes
To the sound of little children makin friends
All of the senses 
Each day are met
With a shower of joy 
Like a shore of little fishes
And my heart is the nest

I can giggle with delight 
Like a picalow in flight 
I can roll like an old brown bear
I can whistle 
I can sing like a scarlock in the spring 
When he thinks no ones there

What makes me happy
So much to say
If I made a note 
The things I wrote would reach from here to Mandela
But one things special
And here's a clue
It starts with a Y 
Has a circle in the middle 
And it ends with U

What makes me happy
Now let me see
Q R S T 
That's right 
It's U
