Wendy, in my earlier comment I should have said 'cute as a button' (I didn't know 'dickens' was a euphemism for the devil!) Congrats on another win with this sensational one-line poem!

Nor did I until I googled it, John. I thought I'd personalise it with an actual photo from the Watson archives! Thanks for the lovely comment. (It's my lovely Mum with our second son way back when!)

So true, Wendy! That rare smile communicates she is healthy, happy, fed, clean, and rested, and who cannot love knowing all that; plus, her smile is cute as the dickens! Love this... congratulations on your placement in Brian's contest ~ John

Yes, it takes a tough cookie not to respond to that inviting smile. I'd not heard the expression 'cute as the dickens' before then googled it and noted that 'dickens' was a euphemism for the devil, cute in this sense meaning cunning I suppose! Thanks for reading my efforts, John.
