Hello Handsome ~

“REMEMBER: THE THREE S’s.” a poem for Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2019.

STAND straight; walk tall,

Have your SELF a real ball.

And (pause) SMILE pretty; any smile will do,

Even with no teeth, it’s good for you,

To try and SMILE throughout the day;

Look in the mirror. SMILE! Hurray!

And keep those shoulders back, andTheHeadRightUp,

“Sipping” ALL DAY “a loving cup!”

AND WHAT’S THE 3rd “S?” Did you guess?

What’s No. 3 thatWe’ll getTo address?

The tension’s MOUNTING; have you got it?

It’s SO OBVIOUS: cross some T’s and iFyouGotAn”I,” just dotIT.

NO. 3, OF COURSE, IS: SHARE,

Share your smile and confident air;

Give it freely TO EVERY ONE,

SO ALL THE GOOD FOLKS CAN HAVE SOME FUN.

At first, THERE’S ONE; NOW, maybe 2;

See all the good that you can do?

TO BE A GOOD EXAMPLE, TO SHOW THE WAY;

Pretty soon, your WHOLE TOWN’s happy all day.

STANDING straight; SMILEing proud;

Now, you’re (just?) another one in the crowd,

Of HAPPY TEXANS, all around;

YIPPEE! WHAT A STATE in which weAre found.

Then, The Nation; then, The WorldIsSHARIN’&SMILI(o)N’

And STANDING straight. ThisIs SuchAn IR ON nnnnnn

Y (ee) that one goofy twit like YOU can have such an affect,

On THE WORLD and Universe, where we can ALL reflect,

THE BEST THAT HUMANKIND CAN GIVE;

SMILE, STANDuP, SHARE: What a way to live.
