The Science of a Smile
The science of a smile,
A subject that lasts a while,
It's there when we laugh,
Helping you live longer,
That's a proven fact.
A smile is biology at best,
The hidden happiness of a mouth at rest,
It's all because of those cells,
And God forbid enamel,
Most creatures have them; like the orca whales,
Smiling takes 26 muscles,
People use it from Timbuktu to Brussels,
Call it inheritance or evolution,
Pedigree charts maybe,
Or DNA transfusions,
The science of a smile,
A hidden biological trial.
