The humble smiley does grace our page

With graphical humour that’s all the rage

So I thought an ode to it would be nice

And pen to paper I put in the thrice

Let’s see, which smiley is the best

So many to choose from I'll get no rest

So maybe I should just make a list

and then I will not get a painful wrist

First I think is kind of fun

but if you like chasing them you'll have to
's are nice and so is a

You can use your to eat some

Be careful not to scare yourself with the frightening

Thank goodness the is full, it won't get to dark

Sit back and relax with a nice cup of

and eating a dozen 's, is the best thing for me

Take off in a , to visit a distant

Careful you don't meet a if you go to far

Sitting back on a beach with your by your side

If it’s big like you can use it to hide behind

If you want to say something naughty, try to remember the

especially if what you have in mind concerns some woolly

Get on the big red , it'll take you for a spin

Down to the local , where the does her thing

Whether you or get when someone says you're

Or maybe show how much you someone when they have been a fool

A is so very nice when you are feeling

and maybe a is just the thing when ing is right for you

If 's and 's scare you, you can them away

With a little dust to help them on their way

But be careful or a will plunder all your loot

Have ready those pink , so you can give him the boot

You could always go see the or the if you are ill

and maybe have a to take away the chill

A cheerful will always help light the way

and not forgetting the seasonal when it’s closer to Christmas Day

So that’s it for this ode, I really have to stop and say no

There simply are too many smileys’ to put them all on show

I'm just thankful they are here, providing us all with a graphic flair

and that h2g2 are so very generous they let us post them without a care
