Smiling is Infectious, by the Late Great Spike Milligan

Maybe I am late to the party but I had never seen/heard of this poem before, but hey, it is so true and hope it brightens your day as it did mine!

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 me grin.

When he smiled I realised

I’d passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,

Then 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!
