Premium Member It could be Arsenic

innoxious odor
faintly fishy
I think of salmon I say

it could be arsenic
this was thrown out by dour Debby Downer
we always get worse scenarios from her

it reminds me of catfish
my upbeat-mother-in-law says,
trying to salvage the family meal.
it is not our fault her other son married Debby Downer

Premium Member Soothing Smile

A child`s smile is an innoxious pleasure and joy,
Cure and never wear, Cloudless Sans Cloy. 
 It's never too early to start your day with a smile, 
 "Glow in the Sky" is a logo that never is hostile.

Your smile brightens everyone's day,
A grin is a delight right in front of your eye.
Smile is the initial step to achieving harmony,
Since it was taken, it means reciprocity.

On a systematic basis at the Coffee House,
I abscond to have a coffee; that's how I louse.
Against my rivals, the options are almost limitless,
Most foes are slain by a smile, and fury is endless. 

Smiles are visible and may persist for a time,
Sharing one is giving the apex of the sublime. 
Where did they originate in the first place?
Is it a clear display of one's heart mood pace?

Believing it's eminent, is a wise choice,
It lifts spirits, dries tears, and calms the voice.
If only a smile could remind us to live well,
Let's view how much everyone can easily expel.
