Smile

Here's how to turn your frown upside down... with hardly any trying. Do it quick...don't delay... or you may end up crying. You can do it anywhere... some may laugh...but don't you care. Say them loud for all to hear... let's switch in high gear. Cackle...shriek...beam or grin... chuckle...chortle...snicker... if you want...and you feel brave... you can say them even quicker. Laugh...giggle...or even snort... keep them rolling in the aisles. You can make your own list up... what ever makes you smile! P.R. Deremer *** read this poem using the melody of Yankee Doodle Dandy

It never takes a special occasion to smile ... but even if your smiles makes others laugh it is your way of reacting and you feel better . Well written , Pam ... you for sure made me smile :)
