Great poem! Here you have a poem about happiness in Kobenhavn, by Morten Søndergaard:

Denmark is the happiest country, Denmark

has the happiest paratroopers and artillery

bottle pickers and butchers and drummers and keepers,

the happiest social workers, the happiest suicides,

the happiest hard of hearing, pilots, janitors, politicians,

priests, pedophiles, the happiest consumers of antidepressants.

In Denmark you have the happiest orgasms and there are

the happiest kisses. Denmark has the happiest weather forecasts.

Denmark has the happiest whores, lottery winners, the

happier

below the poverty line, cancer patients

happier,

the happiest divorces, Denmark has the happiest poets

the happiest insane, Denmark has the happiest

unhappy.
