A Smile for You
Smiling is infectious; you catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized I’d passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile then I realized its worth;
A single smile just like mine could travel ‘round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin, don’t leave it undetected.
Let’s start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected.
From My Persian Dictionary
Lúbiyah: bean.
Hammál: bearer, porter, carrier.
Zang: bell.
Habb: berry.

I pay him willingly, for after all, pharmacists also must live. Then I go home and pour the medicine down the drain, for after all, I, too, have to live.”
A Neat Trick
