Today I just had <br />That Happy Feeling <br />That glowing, bubbling <br />Happy Feeling <br />I don’t really know why <br />Or how <br />Or where it came from <br />I just knew it was there <br />Bursting forth <br />In the form of endless <br />Smiles and erupting <br />Giggles <br />Laughing at the littlest things <br />Untamable shaking leg <br />And that smile super-glued to my face <br />It might be because <br />I got a few tests back today <br />With A’s splattered on the front in vibrant red ink <br />Or it might be that funny little sixth sense <br />Of mine when I know something is gonna <br />Happen <br />I really don’t know <br />My friends kinda stare at me <br />Wondering, “What’s up with her? ” <br />But I just laughed myself <br />Silly <br />When I dropped my pencil <br />Or said a word wrong <br />Even when on particular friend <br />Said I was being really annoying <br />That almost <br />Almost <br />Ruined That Happy Feeling <br />My smile fell a bit <br />I kinda stopped jumping <br />But then <br />I tripped and fell <br />On that slippery grass <br />And burst out <br />In an avalanche of <br />Unstoppable giggles <br />And That Happy Feeling <br />Was pulled out of the <br />Drowning waters <br />And was brought back <br />To life by my clumsiness <br />And she just rolled her eyes <br />And mumbled something I just <br />Really didn’t care about <br />As I laughed my damn head off <br />I don’t know why <br />But today I just had <br />That Happy Feeling<br /><br />Shannon Hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/that-happy-feeling/
