The TV told me today

To put on a happy face

Make a damn sign if you need to

And go find your own happy place

My daughter at the table

Wonders what's up with that sign

Is that some kind of joke

Or is that happy face by design

There might be mild side effects

Too many to list them all

But the TV told me today

That special pills will fix me y'all!

This is my own special place

And I'll go at my own special pace

So don't enter my sacred space

Without your registered happy face

Colon and closed parenthesis

Something must've went amiss

In terms of my arch nemesis

And all the fundamentalists
