Only Charming When You Smile #1

Peppermint breath and the curls my Grandma says Remind her, of a long-dead husband Darling it's only charming when you smile Your lips are only cracking cause it's been a while I am at once a man but still a child Scribbled on my pants Crossing my legs to make way For the large man with the top-hat Leather brief case Grinned ear-to-ear, face-to-face His jokes about the weather clear the place Of any misanthropic tendencies His laughter a melodic dependency Darling it's only charming when you smile Your lips are only cracking cause it's been a while There's memory and guilt to reconcile credits
