Small-Minded


Her smug smile smacked of smarminess,
Smouldering with self-smiting spite,
Her smartness smothered by smooth smirks
Was smashed to smoky smithereens.

Wow to 'smarminess' - long time no hear or see 'smarminess', what a great word to pull out, Jo. Each line is a readers 's' party, wonderful job! All the best ... CayCay

Oh, Jo, this one can do double duty as alliteration AND you could put People after it and enter it in the People contest! Good job. I really dislike this type of person.
