 195. Unbounded Joy
(Shy is the one who donated the starter line)

Her heart is filled
With jellybean colored
Balloons.

She lost
Her artwork
Scattered in the night
Over ten miles
Like the
Easter Bunny
Leaving presents
For kids
To find those
Lovely colored eggs
OH!
What they
Will find!

The man
Every night
Took the lab rats
Out of their
Cages
And pet them
And loved them
And kissed them
Before feeding
Them the poison
To give them
Cancer.

The results
Were all wrong
With that one
Bunch of rats…
A confounding
Variable
They called it.

There's no
Rat word
For what
They “call it.”

The difference
Between happiness
And joy
Is one pink balloon
&
A bouquet of
Jellybean colored
Balloons.

The difference
Between Joy
And joy
Unbounded
Is letting the love
Be greater
Than the poison
We eat
Everyday.
