Smile

L J LSmile J L J

I wanna see you smile from beer to beer.

Smile like you didn’t even hear the bad news, as if it were

In n Out the other ear.

Smile like your first Double-Double burger.

Smile like your first Butterscotch Original.

Smile cuz its Worth her.

Smile Baby

Let me see them Pearly whites.

I’ll Smile even if its just a yellow-lite.

Cigarette stained, or maybe from the Coca-Cola.

This talk of cancer plagues her like Ebola, but

Baby, Smile as you cope, and

I promise to smile as I hold ya.

Smile.

Say cheese.

Never say when, only more, and Smile as you

Say Please, and

Don’t forget thank you.

She’s red in the face,

How much more can she breakout, before she breaks through?

But, if you ask me, I think each pimple has a story to tell.

We can go to and fro, but by the looks of it

Things didn’t go so well.

So go on and smile like they just took off your braces.

Smile like a kid again and you just learned to tie your new shoes’ laces.

Smile like your earliest memory of Christmas,

Even if he wasn’t there and missed it.

Smile,

Even if you were Muslim to begin with,

Open up your first present, and

Hey!!! It’s a Smile, so smile

Like you were Christian and got everything on your wish list.

I mean we never got together and re-enacted the birth of Christ;

But Sufficent to say (with a smile)

It was nice.

It was good. Things were well…

Presents, pancakes, and bacon: The good life.

I can’t remember what I had for breakfast yesterday,

Much less the smell.

So Smile

Smile

Smile like a full-body cavity search.

Smile,

But know that every smile that goes up, must come down,

And Gravity Hurts...
