UPSIDE DOWN FROWN by Russ McKay

I used to go around
With my mouth in a frown
Then my Mother one day
Said “Stop looking that way
Turn that frown upside down”
It wasn’t because I was sad
Or even because I was mad
I did not think that my smile
Should be on my face all the while
After all I’m not always glad!
But I told my Mom that I’d try
To stop looking like I’m gonna cry
I put my hands on my hips
And turned up my lips
And smiled ’til I thought I would die
Of my frown there was not a trace
I smiled when I went everyplace
But when I saw a man fall
I heard someone call
“Hey kid wipe that smile off your face!
