A SMILE NEVER CHANGES

A SMILE NEVER AGES


The older you get the less you know.
Just ask your kids they will say its so.
Blood pressure up. Arches flat.
Everything you eat just goes to fat.

Get out of bed. Move real slow.
Three times a night you have to go.
Caffeine not only keeps you awake -
it makes you pee for heaven’s sake.

The world keeps changing
at a hectic pace
causing more gray hair
and a wrinkled face.

But as you look in the mirror -
what catches your eye -
is your smile never ages
as the years go by.
