She knows 
   when to smile
   but not her name

A name, by itself, generally doesn't do much for me. But a smile...now that's always a winner. Great one, Maureen!

Thank you Vijay, much appreciated. I captured what I wanted to say and tried to write more, even wrote another funny piece for this contest but came back to this one (cutting another word or two, lol) xomo
