Positivity seems to be in short supply these days. 

If you squint, though, you can still find it. I’m sure. 

That’s why I think it’s important to celebrate the glass half full people in your life. 

Celebrate a happy chappy you know by gifting them this poem I wrote recently.

Bacon

Bacon has reserved seat 63D 
on the 7:09 train to London Euston.
But it won’t sit down. It’s wandering 

through the carriage in a cheeky mood, 
winking at the businessman pretending 
to listen to his Zoom call about projections 

for the next financial year. It’s whistling 
up the nostrils of the snoring mum clinging 
on to one chance of uninterrupted sleep. 

It’s using its hands to mimic reeling in a fishing rod 
in the direction of the starving vegetarian. 
Bacon does not care it’s a Thursday. 

“Let’s be having you!” it yells, thrusting its hips
to the rhythm of Hakuna Matata.
