Play It On Your Lips

:) :-)
Wear a smile all day, 
smile away the day
and watch the effect 
you pass around
It might just cheer up the not 
so gay
and happiness may then 
abound.

And don't you look your best 
when you do smile
No wonder you're asked to say 
'cheese' for a photo
but the trick is to wear it all 
the while
'To smile without distinction' 
be thy motto.:)

When someone creases their 
forehead into a frown
You curve your lips upward 
into a smile
Don't let their scowl get you 
down
They,d be the one to look the 
clown
while you show off your 
inspiring style.

If people stare 'n' glare at you
Return their glares and stares 
with a grinning smile
Keep smiling whether they boo 
or pooh pooh
They might just reset their 
mental file.

Thus forever flash your 
pearlywhites
They aren't meant merely for 
chow and bites.
A crescent shaped smiley on 
the face
Flash em' into a smile that 
lights
exploring your own facial 
expression delights.:)

The magic a smile has turns people's anger away. It is a golden piece of advice, indeed.
