In this world of Ever After,
everyone is filled with laughter!
From the cleaner to the crafter,
to get a job with any staffer.

In the streets and in the trains,
no matter if it snows or rains,
we're always smiling through our pains!
There's endless joy inside our veins!

One swipe. One like. One little hype:
"You look so happy! You're just my type!"
One pose. One post. No time to gripe
about the waste stuck in the pipe.

We know when Someone Else arrives,
they'll make sure our world survives!
Us? We're busy laughing on our drives
at the inside joke that is our lives!

Ever After, we'll always laugh
and ignore the inconvenient stuff.
We're happy to do what's Just Enough
and hope that god won't call our bluff.
