Be Happy hahahaha
I have all along been sitting and glossing
under an apple tree all my life
what happiness can be
a simple comparison of combined incidents
many jovial
few sorry
from the milk of both
if you can but extract
the elixir of glee
‘twill a successful story be
of merriment truly
yes ‘tis poetry alone
as it lends paradise
but lets me be full of gladness
to share here my story
you say what you want to
but be merry
not guilty
one must simply be cheerful
just smile will all ye
let joyousness
your share surely be

the only suggestion I might have is to eliminate the repetition of happy there are many words that can substitute for happy suggest you might look up the thesaurus online I find it a valuable tool
