Oh my !! Mask or no Mask, things haven't changed. Maybe she was talking about showing her smile. :) Maybe not. Soft giggle. This is cute, clever and creative. Congratulations John, on Poem of the Week. :) Brandy

good question Susan. When we were kids we had a "girl" who batted in the cleanup spot and got picked for the team before most of us guys.....maybe as kids we were way ahead of the curve...((oH, Oh, not a cheap baseball play on words....}
