Why is she so Somber

Why is she so somber? We asked each other.
Many weird guesses were made by my silly brother.
She has injured her smile, she has cut off her toe.
There is a fish on her hat, she is stuck in the snow.

There was a fish on her hat, so that was not a guess.
Maybe it smells horrible, suggested cousin Tess.
Why is she so somber? She never cracks a smile.
Maybe she has lost her lipstick or her favorite nail file?
