HAPPINESS ON A RAINY APRIL DAY

What better day for this poem than this rainy, blustery April Fool's Day here in South Carolina. April, as you may know, is National Poetry Month. I celebrate the month with one of my favorites from Pooh’s creator, A.A. Milne. Of late, if my comment is not “It is what it is,” I might say “And that, said John, is that!”  The poem is short and to the point.

Happiness    By A. A. Milne

John had Great Big Waterproof Boots on; John had a Great Big Waterproof Hat; John had a Great Big Waterproof Mackintosh -- And that (Said John) Is That.                               Not Milne's John, but he's got on all the right stuff
