Hidden Secret of the Smile
The mighty lion he bears his teeth
At first to scare you off
And if you fear him not, you’ll find
He’ll most happily you scoff!
So wIth open-mouthed amazement
I chose to think awhile
And then taking old Leo as a guide
Thought I’d analyse a smile.
For you see we share the kingdom
And animals all we be
And surely in the things we do
Must share similarity.
Those open smiles, with perfect teeth
Warm crinkling of the eyes
Beware, beware the signs are there
Of menace in disguise.
Like Leo they might
Be planning to bite!

Nice one, Neville! Certainly has the power to Smile ;-)
Well, I've heard that there are two types of folks at your workplace for sure. One Python and the other a Viper. I'm too young to be a judge of this. But glad I could see some grey shades in time!

One of the Apollo Astronauts said the Moon is all grey but until you've been to the Moon you don't know how many shades of grey there are. Perhaps our nature is like that,

Neville, I feel something like this about too easily proffered hand shakes which of course have become a no no for now anyway .
