Recipe For Being Real Happy

by Reese Turner

Happy Poems Contest Winner 
Question: How to be real happy?
Invite your friends in for a meal!
Mouths busy, so no bad talkin’
Then tummies full, that’s the deal.
 
No politics at the table, please!
Food focus, from salad to pie…
A little beer on the side is nice
But just one; Happy leaves when high.
 
For us country folks, it’s our Bar-B-Q
Either Brisket, Pork Ribs or Chicken
With sides, beans, ‘tater salad, slaw
What a table! Everybody be grinnin’!
 
Later, rockers out on the veranda
For the guests to more comfy sit
Maybe some nice music in back
Dogs on the porch, and that’s it!
 
Next, we’ll cover “Avoid Unhappy”
Study guide written by my wife
Follow her rules, in all her ways,
Is the (only) key to a happy life.
