Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Are You Happy, Strom?

Pew, that nonpartisan fact tank
Has done a "happy" study, and
Concludes from its data bank
Who's the happiest in the land.
He's old, male and Republican -
Strom Thurmond if he were alive.
But, to be a most happy one,
Nothing in the Pew happy jive
Said that living was a required.
So maybe Pew dug ol' Strom up,
And happy stuff of him inquired.
Maybe his jawbone crackled, "Yup."

Just ignore this P.U. Pew stat
Says this young, female Democrat.
