Things, Things, Things, Things
Bangles gold and diamond rings
Electronics, boats, and fancy cars,
Chief discussions--scores and pars
Newest trends and latest fashions
Reflect our love of shallow passions
The next thing out will satisfy
Our heart's desire and lust of eye
Happiness hovers just out of reach
The next mountain resort or sandy beach
Australian safari, European cruise
Rubbing of shoulders with famous who's whos
All's said and done, still no happiness brings
These things, and things, and things, and things
Recognition, holidays, trinkets, and vases
Could we have been looking in all the wrong places?
