I am hoping that next week I will feel happy as a dog’s tail. That would be grand. For now, cute dog picture + poem will have to do.
Happy as a Dog’s Tail – by Anna Swir
Happy as something unimportant
and free as a thing unimportant.
As something no one prizes
and which does not prize itself.
As something mocked by all
and which mocks at their mockery.
As laughter without serious reason.
As a yell able to outyell itself.
Happy as no matter what,
as any no matter what.
Happy
as a dog’s tail.
