It was so......

This dates back to the early 1960's when PC's didn't exist! I enjoyed writing or scribbling even then, and I had this and 3 other 'poems' accepted by an 'Anthology of Poems and Prose' of the epoch. My mother apparently found my works to be those 'of the Devil' and destroyed them! Such was life at the time........

I copy this one from memory, because I quite liked it!

******************

Contentedness.........

What is Contentedness........

Why - it's just a piece of Happiness

From which we've ripped a piece -

and are Contented.

When We no longer are Contented,

Then We return to Happiness,

And - rip another piece.........

And - are...... contented......!
