Wooden Smiles

We try to be happy all the time But not dare the untrodden miles Forget the heart’s rapturous rhymes End up in wooden smiles! Someone please give me smile broad and wide So can be seen all my teeth Tell me a belly rip where laughter can’t hide Give me spacious humor’s width! Tell me a joke wild nonsense and trash Make all my muscles ache in pain When the waves of laughter upon me crash I’ll in happiness go insane! I haven’t laughed friend it’s quite a while Want a laugh long left in the past Bring this weary soul a plateful of smile Make my lips break away from the rust! Tell me a story that I roll on the ground In laughter sparkling clean For jaws long in wooden smiles bound That would be the best medicine!
