Happiness is one of the greatest birthday songs ever recorded, Close to You, The Carpenters (1970)

 

Happiness is Keemo Kimo (1854)

 

Happiness is a rasher of bacon, thin or thick

 

If we grow all to be pork eaters, we shall not shortly have a rasher on the coals for money.

-- William Shakespeare, Merchant of Venice

Happiness is the brotherhood of The Mystic Knights of the Sea

 

Andy, Kingfish, and Amos

Happiness is Ma Cohen's herring in wine sauce, made in Detroit

 

Happiness is polite dinner conversation

Thou say'st his meat was sauc'd with thy upbraidings;

Unquiet meals make ill digestions.

-- William Shakespeare

Happiness is what is seasonal

 At Christmas I no more desire a rose,

Than wish a snow in May's newfangled shows;

But like of each thing, that in season grows.

 

-- William Shakespeare
