happy song

Modular Metals
Chickenwire ceiling
Dad kisses baby

Sesame Street silent
Muppets stashed sideways
Dad kisses baby

Ludicrous suit
limp on last year’s clown
Dad kisses baby

Write a happy song
Let’s sing along
Dad kisses baby

Angst & strife
Silver knife
Dad kisses baby.

Write a happy song.
