LAUGHTER LINES

Looking in the mirror, shaving as you do
A faint red line of blood appeared
Just a drop or two
I'd knicked a little laughter line
Just beneath my eye
Don't you dare say wrinkle
Unless you want to die
I wondered 'bout the laughter line
Cos sometimes I have cried
Reflection in the mirror
Is this the one I feared?
But I will keep on laughing
What else can you do
And I will keep on smiling
Making wrinkles, just for you

Cute. Humorous and very readable. Since I went the electric razor many years back, I don't get that laugh nick anymore.

Too bad those lines always seem to look better on the guys than the gals.  I really enjoyed this.

Hi Jerry, yes and gone are the days of the cut throat.
Lori, I am too much of a gentleman to comment

I like this very much... you've dressed reality in a robe of whimsy... and if your lady didn't place a kiss on that laugh line made just for her, she should have!
