Bad news - read Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd
emphasizing "I shall not want"
humming Mozart's Requiem
Brahm's "Oh Tod, wie bitter bist Du"
solemn voice, sad faces.
Good news - nonchalantly throw
Tiffany diamonds, German cars
- no Rhinestones please
or inexpensive Lemons
turn on quietest employee
relentless pursuit of happiness
such humbling gratitude.
