don't worry, be happy

you sound so sad, she says,

unhappy,

you must be troubled

by your

past, and 

worried about your future.

we worry about you.

don't you have a happy

place to go to?

you know there's pills

for what you have.

therapy and shock treatments.

books and podcasts.

please, please,

stay away from sharp

objects and tall bridges.

we can help you get

over whatever it is that's

bothering you.

replace that frown

with a smile.

we can fix you 

and make you happy,

and oblivious,  like us.

you'll be singing and dancing

to new tune.
