On Smiling At Will

On Smiling At Will

A Poem by Brad Nugent

some people
have faces
that were meant
to smile
apparently
I look serious
and have scales
that make you
depressed
my forehead
frowns again and
I ponder revising
the budget
to accommodate
the purchase
of happier scales

to give a more serious review of this piece... I love the way you have woven these various abstract thoughts together to produce this clever and very amusing poem... what do happier scales look like? and will they just be blissfully optimistic in their expression or will they make the user happier as well?

You crack me up! perhaps you should give the budgets a miss and progress straight to cryptic crosswords!
