All-Time Happy Man

Lining up life so all things go well

Declining all strife to remain in the shell

Steering clear of the masses

Shed no tear for their messes

Pursuing just one more way He can bless us

Negating all downs to round up the plusses

To never ‘gain fall yet eternally stand

So’s the plan of all-time happy man.

To gobble delectables from all the earth

To cobble collectibles and assemble a hearth

To bask in its beauty and rest in its shade

To ask nothing of thee to have it all made

To shut doors on all pain, serene shores just remain

To reap what was laid by another’s kind hand

So’s the plan of all-time happy man.

Sacrifice not to disturb not the pleasure

Insure all one’s got to protect the treasure

Forgo the risk to love without pay

Risk not the bliss and forgo that dismay

Giving up no possessions

Thus leaving no impressions

To bind self and things so to never expand

So’s the plan of the all-time happy man.

Looking at time so finite to savor

Extravagant moments form all that he favors

All the world’s riches worth all of his labors

Mammon be his god, gold and goods be his neighbors

All toil spent to solve the hedonistic caper

The end goal of perpetual mirth as his find

Yet discovers life’s luck cannot satisfy

Clenching tight to storehouses for all his life's span

So ends the plan of the all-time happy man.
