Happiness
In a tetchy instant
funny droll is happiness
In a major affront
self-control is happiness
In a sub-zero night
fireside heat is happiness
In a coastal sunlight
seaside heat is happiness
In a awful tempest
protection is happiness
In a clever contest
perfection is happiness
In a reign of terror
inner light is happiness
In a time of error
inner right is happiness
In a noisy raucous
peaceful calm is happiness
In a active caucus
helpful calm is happiness
In a global market
honest trade is happiness
In a macro target
widest trade is happiness
