Ode To Less Stress


beneath a dark forboding sky
threatening snowfall from on high

the little Inuk stood

naughty of behaviour he
awaiting now a scrumptious tea
commander of the Arctic Sea
a fire he’d built of wood

around his waist his purse contained

all he needed, he never complained

never his appetite restrained

the fish tasted so good

many should take a leaf from his book
and with fresh eyes at their situation look

for they have much more

than a purse and a hook

to catch their fish

to be satisfied with simple life

lessens the need for lots of strife
happiness then becomes rife
no need to wish
