Sorrow no.16
Smile no. 11
Put his on, take that off,
Stand up, shake hands and
Say thank you.
I know it is necessary
To wear a flower
On my hair.???
Itemise it. Arrange it in order.
Agony 1, Fury 8,
Oblivion 97.
You know what they want
At the shop--
Sunshine 3, at the bottom,
Confidence 2, the middle layer,
Then top it with 4 and 6--
Success and Worldly humour.
Yes, you're sweet; Yes, yor're crispy,
You do what is necessary.
To wear a smile--
Bring up the muscles,
1,2, upwards--
It really works.
And at once all faces
Are smiling back at you.
It is necessary
To walk with light feet.
Don't stamp. Don't tread.
Slide and weave you way thru'
The way a butterfly would do.
Be light.
Be OPENLY bright.
Hum a childish little tune--
Sometimes, I even
See myself hoping.
t is necessary
To wear a smile--
Bring up the muscles,
1, 2, upwards--
It really works.
And at once all faces
Are smiling back at you.
