How to be Happy
It happened on a summer day
While walking on the beach
I met these older folks at play
Who had a lot to teach
“Longevity” is what they said
“don’t let your feelings be mislead”
“Longevity”
“Longevity”
“And lots of practice in your bed”
I pondered this and with a smile
He kissed her on the cheek
This happened twice and in a while
She gave a little shriek
They were in love, in married bliss
And I could tell he loved to kiss
They were in love
They were in love
But something there just seemed amiss
They said the road to happiness
Is sharing everything
I could see the truth in this
But she never kissed responding
I asked them why; even beneath?
The mistletoe and Christmas wreath?
I asked them why
I asked them why
She said: "it’s his turn with the teeth"

lol. Wasn't expecting that ending.
I've always found it beautiful when people can stay together in a relationship for so long. especially today with so many people getting divorced in life. It seems like the old fashioned happiness of love is rare these days and is hard to find. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest.

You're just too good Amera! When ever I need a good laugh I can look through your humorous poems and I'm cheered right up. A new favorite, right up there with that one about Grandma. (Can't remember the name right off). Share the teeth, that's just precious.
