(with outrage expressed all over unsocial media over World Happiness Ranking, originally posted March 2023)

"This ranking is rank!" cried Gloomy Gus,

"We are HAPPY! G*DAMMIT! What is this fuss?

They do this on purpose! To light up the stage!

Got popcorn and drink, watching WhatsCrapp outrage!"

Gus walks around huffing, in high dudgeon,

I assure you, friend, he is no curmudgeon. 

May be cranky or crabby, my dear chappie,

Just a normal desi. Yes. We're perfectly happy. 

It's high time, he grumbles, these phoren media blokes, 

Learned all of us, even Gus, are bhadraloks!

Never cross, contrary, or needing corrected. 

Forwarding. Gleeful. Cool, calm, and collected. 

We're happier than happy, no time to kvetch. 

Ranking us low? You stupid, miserable wretch!

Begone! Be banished! Driven out of the city. 

You! The nattering nabobs of negativity!
