The cost of a smile might be weighed
In calories spent to move the cheeks.
Sometimes the struggle to joy is made
More difficult on certain weeks.
There's also the time it takes to smile -
Milliseconds, sometimes get compiled.
The value of a smile? Now there's the thing -
If cost is what you pay, value is what you keep
A man who cannot afford a smile...is cheap.
