Joy

I went to look for Joy,

Slim, dancing Joy,
Gay, laughing Joy,
Bright-eyed Joy,—
And I found her
Driving the butcher’s cart
In the arms of the butcher boy!
Such company, such company,
As keeps this young nymph, Joy!

-- Langston Hughes (1901-1967), African American poet, playwright, and novelist, leader of the Harlem Renaissance
