What Makes Me Smile

Smiles from me to you, making you happy not blue. Friendship we can praise, as we enjoy sunny days. My puppy is tan and small, she likes to sleep in mommy's shawl. She loves to play with her ball, while I play with my doll. We like to play outside, where she will run and hide. I will put her in my doll buggy for a ride, her smile becomes a mile wide. Now is it time to go inside, dinner is ready with chicken that has been fried. I make funny--did I make you laugh or smile today, Your eyes light up with a big bright smile-no more gray, My day's work is now all done-I am off to play.

Now, when you put your puppy into your doll buggy for a ride, whose smile becomes a mile wide? -- the puppy's or your doll's? --- or maybe both! Fun one, Paula, Gershon
