Pull of a Finger

One of my favorite things about you is your smile But you rob me of it by trying to keep it hid By covering it up By trying to refrain Just seeing you TRY to refrain cracks me up Seeing you smile Hearing you laugh Brings such pure joy to my soul So when you do, I drink it up When I realize certain things you do or certain things I do makes you laugh Makes you smile all the way up to your eyes I make note of it so I can use it EVERY chance I get Even if that means enduring something.... Gross Weird Risky Silent but deadly But hey a girl's gotta do What a girl's gotta do Even when you ask me With a sly smirk on your face "Pull my finger" and you smile that wonderful smile And I immediately start laughing Although pulling the finger Might result in something putrid Any kind of embarrassing sound "Basking in the ambiance" I pull the "trigger" Sometimes a sound follows Sometimes it's a dud But nonetheless We burst out laughing And I get to see you smile Hear you laugh All smells aside All sounds aside I'm am full of happiness All because of the pull of a finger (For the contest "Reconsidering Laughter" by Desiree Birdseye)
