Did you ever try
To figure out why
Some things make you happy and sad
at the same time?
Like kids tumbling around
in fluffy, fresh snow.
Like the puffing out
of the engine on a toy train.
At some point,
both will smell bad.
Christmas muzak, cigars
and smelly old memoirs.

Notes: This is a very funny comparison. I really wonder what was on my mind.
