Salutation

O generation of the thoroughly smug
                   and the thoroughly uncomfortable,
             I have seen fishermen picknicking 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.
