Spectacular Smiles

S pectacular smiles worn by schoolgirls.
P owerful and poetic when the answer is right.
E ngraved-in-anger in case of a fight.
C oward smiles on home-work not done.
T ight-lipped smile is just for fun.
A n annoyed smile when no place to sit.
C an-I-help-you smile if a friend is hit.
U nmanagable in case of a collision.
L augh-out-loud on the success of a mission.
A deadpan smile on inability to write.
R easonably bright on an awkward sight.

S ocial smiles in old friends’ meeting,
M ona Lisa when getting caught cheating.
I ntelligent smiles in the staffroom,
L ost smiles in the ASL Room.
E ffortless on getting an I.Card.
S un shines when they party hard.
