According to Buddha

Cheerfulness is very important to health. It is the best antiseptic that you can have — plus the thought that you are all right. 

nighthawks at the diner of Emma’s 49’er
there’s a rendezvous of strangers around the coffee urn tonight
all the gypsy hacks and the insomniacs
now the paper’s been read, now the waitress said
eggs and sausage and a side of toast
coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
chili in a bowl with burgers and fries
what kind of pie? yeah…
