Smile
Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too,
I passed around the corner,
And someone saw me grin,
When they smiled I realized,
I’d passed it onto them,
I thought about that smile,
And realized It’s worth,
A simple smile like mine,
Could travel around the earth,
So if you feel a smile again,
Don’t leave it unattended,
Let’s start an epidemic quick,
And get the world infected.

Re: Smile
The bit of prose was signed Maisy, If it was originally written by spike Milligan , then it maybe should have been signed Milly … short for Milligan. Cheers JS.
My reply should have been It instead read I ,the T was missing, believed lost somewhere north of the equator ? JS

Re: Smile
On further investigation the author is Jez Alborough so Milly come Maisy doesn’t have to compete with Spike who must be turning in his grave. Cheers JS.
