Happiness is receiving lots of presents,
and opening them as early in the morning as you like.
Happiness is rhubarb-walnut muffins
alongside the bacon and eggs,
plus an extra stick of raw rhubarb for lunch.
Happiness is the silliness of Zoom birthday songs
(in English and Irish).
Happiness is seeing ten family members
on the same screen at the same time
and showing off all your presents.
Happiness is a $50 check to spend
however you please , and the time spent
imagining the possibilities.
Happiness is takeaway Burgerville
fish & chips and a strawberry milkshake
eaten on a daisy-covered hillside
overlooking the skate park.
Happiness is serving yourself the biggest slice
of the best Victoria sponge cake
your mother has ever baked.
Happiness is knowing
you'll have another celebration on Saturday
so you don't need to be too sad that today is over.
