PILES OF SMILES

 Where do you get

         your bucket of

                   smiles?

Because the bucket

     never goes dry 


They sparkle

     and twinkle

          in wee tiny

                 wrinkles 


Do you dip them

        out up the sky?


Is that where you go to

      when your fast asleep

and the sunshine

       falls out of the day?

Do you slip out instead

       from your tiny head

and trip through the Stars

            as they play?


What gives you those great big

             twinkle-y smiles?

Did an elephant tickle your toes?

A crocodile nibble behind your ear?

Or a bee fly inside your nose?


Oh no!   I'm quite sure

         that those smiles galore

are a part of the secret you keep

You scoop sparkle away

          from the Stars

        as they play

and pat it into grins as you sleep
