Silly Things That Make Me Smile

Silly things that make
me smile and crack a small laugh
for a little while
are things like silly cats and
videos of dancing rats.

Silly things that make
me smile and let out a laugh
that is rather bile,
are small jokes and canny puns,
and things like family fun!

Silly things that make
me smile and make my stomach
drop a mile are small
things like a heartfelt comment
and a genuine compliment.
