Lucky Town

Stranger, you shouldn't be here.
You don't belong.
Your sorrows are none of our business.
This is a happy town.

Stranger, you don't look too well.
We see through you.
You are too easy to read
and this is a happy town.

Stranger, we fear you.
You shall corrupt.
A touch and we will wither.
This is a happy town.

Stranger, don't even talk.
We are deaf to all but laughter.
We are blind to all but love.
Such a very happy town.

Stranger, we won't think twice and let you go.
There is no net to catch you. Be warned!
No trapeze acts here.
All clowns in a happy town.

Stranger, see our children?
They are all rats.
Your music seduces.
Get out of this happy town.

We thank you for your time, stranger.
We will never meet again.
And till the time you find your heaven,
best wishes with love from the happy town.

All rats wander like Biprorshee
