A Smile Is a Frown Upside Down
There was a lady from Miami
Often would give you the whammy
She could read your mind
As you whimpered and whined
As your hands got sweaty and clammy
It leaves a great big hole
After many years of observing
Though I'm not an expert, I've found
This revelation to be absolutely true
A smile is a frown upside down
Which would you rather be
Happy as hell with a joyful heart
Or go around with a scowl on your face
Till all your friendships depart
Perhaps you've noted a theme
Running through my words so wise
Love and passion for all youse ladies
Wearing a bright perpetual smile
Don't wish to bore you my friends
With these constant poems about love
But in these final years this old geezer has
Nothing else gives my heart a shove
