I'm in it for the Corn

I think I will spite the world around me and be happy.

I think I will shrug off the power bill and mortgage payment and water heater repair bill and vet bill and be happy.

I will whistle through 50-hour weeks and fast food lunches and hours hunched at my laptop at the kitchen table late at night and be happy.

I will do this because perhaps prosperity follows those who need it least for their own happiness.

Besides, I have all my teeth.
