a servant shouldn't smile

A perfect servant.
Never says a word, except to agree
when spoken to.

This hint of a smile
could threaten us both.
You shouldn't enjoy
what you're bound to do

- not visibly so.
At most and always,
a deep satisfaction
in job well-done

as evidenced by
a placid face. Not such a grin
as I've got on.
