Wipe Off The Frown



Paint the town. Flip upside down.
Wipe off the frown.
Hoot like a clown.
Cruise the sea. Live fancy free.
Boast a big spree.
Find cause for glee.
Take a break. Dive in the lake.
Give up the fake.
Eat ice cream cake.
Catch a fish. Avoid a squish.
Fry in a dish.
Complete a wish.
Shut the gate. Pick a near date.
Tempt every fate.
Marry your mate.
Make a claim. Play a fine game.
Earn the top fame.
Protect your name.
Sprint a mile. Don a new style.
Stop all the guile.
Learn how to smile.
