THE COLOUR OF HAPPINESS

What is the colour of happiness?

I know the sound of it,

laughing kids racing around, calling out, shrieking.

I also know the feel of it,

clinging to the arm of the one you always wanted.

The smell of happiness, uhmmm, not too sure.

But the colour, I just don't get.

Wish I wasn't this whale much daft,

'cause this day nothing can upset me,

Not even when I can't figure out a colour,

seeing and feeling the world this cheerly bright.

If you know the colour of happiness spray me all over

For I want to live deep and long in its loud, fragrant coat.

But, wait for it, am going to get greedy, a wee bit.

Am going to make me even happier still,

by spreading it, cheering up those I meet.

And those I can't, I'll put a smile on their faces.

As for you, any which way you can, throw me a broad one,

smile with a splash of colour, just for me.
