Salutation

O generation of the thoroughly smug
                          and thoroughly uncomfortable,
I have seen fishermen picnicking in the sun,
I have seen them with untidy families,
I have seen their smiles full of teeth
                          and heard ungainly laughter.

And I am happier than you are,
And they were happier than I am;
And the fish swim in the lake
                          and do not even own clothing.
