Happiness Is Fleeting


Happiness is fleeting,
as it should be.

Its ebb and flow
is like a tide that marks
time for us and lets us know
we are still alive.

To hold onto it too long
is like sleeping on only one side.

    Only the Swiss

    Only the Swiss have holes
    Even their money is cheesy
    With all those chocolate chalets

    Their mistake fermenting
    Cheese, they capitalized on
    Only the Swiss sell holes

    So many secret bank accounts
    No tax collector can figure them out
    Within all those chocolate chalets

    Snow made Swiss think of vanilla
    Icing around each doughnut
    Only Swiss know to use holes

    You’d think they’d all be diabetic
    But they burn it off by skiing
    Down all those chocolate chalets

    Don’t put money under your bed
    Invest in a secret cheese account
    Since only Swiss mice make holes
    In all those chocolate chalets.
