Optimism & Joy

Things did get off to a dismal start,
that’s true, but when the blue
and white umbrellas began to appear,
two by two, each one
with a quiet man under it,
I knew things would be OK
and that it was a day
when a modest fellow
could go about his business
with no fear of consequences
or reprisals. And stay dry!

Such joy!

My optimism grew, I tell you.
Grew and grew.
