Oh my- my mum had that poem on the back of her toilet door! It brings back how cold it was in there, but what would I give to walk back into her kitchen and see her sitting there?

I smile at everyone. They probably think I’m a bit cuckoo😂!

I love that poem.
I remember reading it to my class when I was teaching.

Smiling Is Infectious
by Spike Milligan

Smiling is infectious,
you catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner
and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized
I’d passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile,
then I realized its worth.
A single smile, just like mine
could travel round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin,
don’t leave it undetected.
Let’s start an epidemic quick,
and get the world infected!

what a brilliant poem you just have to smile when you read it .
