High On Life

Why am I smiling?

What kind of question is that?

Look at the taste of this meat

Juicy and chewy and filling

Dashed with some Nutella

And washed down with Sprite

How could I not?

And don't you hear the music?

Animal Collective is swimming through my hall

Picking me up, and I'll never jump off

Sounds of happiness around a hippy picnic

Flooding my brainwaves like a tsunami

I mean, who wouldn't?

And how 'bout this movie!

Cyrus is making me laugh

And now it's making me cry

If only I had a third shoulder 

Everything's fine, guys

So what if there's heavy traffic?

So what if it's raining?

So what if it's pouring!

Just put on your dancing shoes

And go get high on life

This is great. The best piece of advice i've ever gotten is "don't take life so seriously" and that's how i try to live. i think this poem does a great job of focusing on the little things and emphasizing the value of appreciating life.

Digging the Animal Collective allusion, and I got the feeling that that isn't the only stimulant! Then again, it's all good.
