Analysis of Be A Happy Fellow



Walk sugar sand shores
Ocean waves are Jell-O
Set aside your chores
Be a happy fellow
Visit farmland fields
Wheat is sunshine yellow
Relish the crop yields
Be a happy fellow
Look at azure skies
Clouds are soft marshmallow
Focus on the highs
Be a happy fellow
Cherish the green earth
Grass is a down pillow
Let your dreams give birth
Be a happy fellow
Greet the world with zest
Smiles are a warm hello
Wish others the best
Be a happy fellow
