The Smiley Face Debate

         

smilies...you ask....
what makes them so great
the subject,  i think,
could spark quite a debate



they seem rather common
not hard to come by
but folks think them special
that you can't deny...

         

they come in all sizes
their shapes often vary
think they all look the same?
quite to the contrary

       

some just grin slightly
while others smile big
i actually spotted one
dancing a jig

                               

some are romantics
it's love that they seek
i even saw one get a
kiss on the cheek

               

there are red ones and yellow
blue, green, even pink
there are even a few who
have learned how to wink

                      
                               

                      

some are in quite a
big hurry i guess
but, when they roll by,
i must wave...i confess

                     

there are some that i haven't
a clue 'bout the why
tell me...who would have known
that a smiley could cry

               

and i've seen this one
who gets angry at times
but i don't think he'd ever
commit violent crimes

     

he just gets hot-headed
then quickly cools down
and his smile may briefly
turn into a frown

     

but, most seem quite friendly
content just to be
they really don't have
many worries you see

     

and when they get bored
they don't sit down and mope
they'll gather some friends
hit the park...jump some rope

         

the best thing about
all these smilies, you see
is they'll always share smiles
with you and with me

         

so, the next time you know
someone who's feeling blue
just send them a smiley...
they'd do it for you

I love it, I love it, I love it!!!
You truly have some unique grins here.
I, of course, hate having missed the
one near the middle that didn't perform
to specs.  I hope EVERYONE comes in here, this is just too delightful for words!!!
