The robin greeted me with a keen eye.

He said he liked my style.

He said he wanted to steal my smile,

And give it to his girlfriend.

I asked the robin how he planned

To steal my smile without any hands,

But his perseverance lingered.

He hopped up on my windowsill

And pecked me very hard

On my right index finger.

"Ouch!" I yelled,

And sure enough my smile was gone.

A day or two later the robin returned.

"I've brought your smile back.

My girlfriend just won't look at me like that,

Or like this," he said,

And brought his beak very near my lips.

I flinched, but he kissed me sweetly,

And sure enough my smile was back.
