at this day
of the week
that a seven
is not a six
but an eight
i am ready
prepared to
reach for a nine
stretching to ten
but i trip to fall
all the way down
passing the six
landing on a five
just above four
looking down
the three shines
right back at me
while a mean two
is just grinning
above the one
standing on tiptoe
“Happiness on a scale of one to ten”

A clever, creative verse, which I was happy to read!
the first thing that came to my mind when I read this was “fun”…it was that as well as relatable.
Yes, you got it. It never is only fun.
