Joy

They’ll say look! look here!

I’ll give a pretty penny

I’ll give my life in years

I’ll even give you twenty

You can have the grand piano

You can have my daughter

You can take this real Van Gogh

Or anything hereafter

But you must smile and refuse

Tell them they have their own

Put on your coat and tie your shoes

Your joy is in your bones
