There were seven smiles on her menu,
one for every day.
Monday showed white teeth,
Tuesday was curvaceous
Wednesday was whimsical.
Thursday was more of a grin,
Friday was a pout, Saturday red and sexy,
Sunday was serene, of course.
She practiced in front of the mirror
until they were perfect.
But she still ate dinner alone
watching the six o’clock News.
