Sonnet

Be happy when you find a place to sleep

And then your troubles drown in sweet relief,

Where you unite with her and then you weep,

To dream of eating oysters off a reef.

With friends who won’t desert you when you’re sad

And there drink deeply from the joys of life,

When everything is good and nothing bad,

A little money and a little wife,

Escaping to an island paradise,

With clear and warm blue waters and white sands,

That is a dream’s escape just for the wise,

Where one lets go and drifts and maybe mends.

All happiness arrives when least expected,

But only if the yang has been detected.
