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.”
