You smiled the first time
when I fell off a ladder;
when I chased dogs and horses
and got trampled on by the latter.
You smiled the second time
when I drank a bottle of dew--
with crickets, grasshoppers
. . .well, to name a few.
You smiled the third time
Oh, your teeth were truly flawless
that I ended up gazing,
and drooling in the process.
And when you smiled the fourth time,
I wished you, too, had an ill bearing--
so you'd mindlessly misplace
that band of vow you were wearing.

And when you smiled the fourth time,
I wished you, too, had an ill bearing--
so you'd mindlessly misplace
that band of vow you were wearing.
