MR. WINKLE HAD A WRINKLE

By M. Marie



Mr. Winkle had a wrinkle
 Each time he smiled wide;
He tried to hide it with a frown:
His wrinkle multiplied!
He tried to cry then tried to sigh,
Then made an angry face;
The wrinkles just kept showing up
Not one could he erase.
He bought some cream, something green
To smooth his face at night;
When he awoke, he was so mad,
His wrinkles stayed in sight.
He tried a hat and grew his hair
So people couldn’t see
Those wrinkles Mr. Winkle thought
Were old and ug-ugly!
“But wait!” He thought, “When I smiled
“I had a single one!
“When I’m angry, sad or frown,
“There’s more than anyone.
“If I have to have a wrinkle,
“I’ll choose the smiley kind;
“When people see a smiling face,
“Your wrinkles they don’t mind.”
