Happy poem no. 4

Parodia magnifica*

Hey, cheer up!

Who says you’re ugly,
old & worn,
unlovable
and a sourpuss –
that’s just your current
image of yourself.

Even cacti do have
their close friends,
lovers & admirers!

Get yourself
watered a bit,
& you’ll be back
in full bloom
in no time at all.

Guaranteed!
