Would You Like Extra Ketchup with That?

A Poem by Pete
"

There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it, and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself. - Thoreau

Ronald and the Hamburglar Couple Costume

the other day at the mcdonalds drive-thru, trying to flip a frown upside down
lowered the car window and asked for a "happy life"
and told them i had a coupon for a deal
they must have thought i said, "happy meal"
got to the pick-up window and was handed questionable meat, stale fries and a plastic toy in a colorful box
what else would you expect from a hamburglar and a clown

"Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder." - Thoreau
