On grasshoppers and ants

They told him he was lazy,
that he'd never amount to anything.
He replied, I amount to happy
and damned if I ain't rich in it.

But you never push for better (said They)
and you accomplish nothing at all!
He responded, I accomplish relaxed
and that's the highest art to master.

I give up! said an exasperated They,
I'm not worrying over what I can't change.
And he said,
Now you're getting it.

They asked him, Where will you be
in twenty years? Still relaxing and happy?
Probably, he replied, and babydoll
it's beautiful.
