The Grin

It reminds me,
of Alice’s cat.
the cat may be all gone,
but the grin is still there!

One may say Scat!
Or even say Shoo!
But the grin won’t go away,
What to do?

I know what its like;
I live with it you see,
Even if there is hurt,
Or calamity!
The grin hangs in there
For eternity

Some people have frowns,
some are loaded with charm,
Some have sensational looks
and some have an expression of calm.
But what the good Lord blessed me with
Is a mile wide grin
That flashes out, no matter
What predicament I am in!

This verse goes out,
To all those folks
Who’ve forgotten to smile.
And for those who give me quizzical looks,
Every once in a while.
