"Life's A Supermarket"

"Life’s a supermarket
With shelf that can contain
Chaos and Confusion
Worry, Grief, and Pain.

Keep looking for the bargains,
And surely you will find
A measure of real pleasure
On the shelf marked “Peace of Mind”.

Gloom is there a-plenty,
But its value must be curbed,
Let it lie beneath the counter,
And remain there undisturbed.

Long before the final check-out,
The incentive’s there to see –
Seek the shelf marked “Happiness”,
It’s on offer and it’s free.—J.M. Robertson
