Accounting For Taste

Who can account for what we term taste and shouldn't it be just an opinion? Though then it might be just a tad debased ~ not free to take off, like a feathery pinion You like dinner hot; your spouse likes it cold When it comes to domiciles, can new ever beat old? Fashionistas may flash their provacative cloaks The older you get, the more you cover your spokes In the matter of make-up, less can be more Lest you earn your keep on the street as a whore For winter vacations, warm weather adds zest While for ski-lovers and others, the Alps are the best In regards to teeth, though, I think this is the case to which all will agree ~ It helps to use paste

Thank you so much, Sunlite! I am truly flattered...And I sense that you're ok with that humor too. I'm glad, as not everyone is (so ok with it). Appreciate your feedback. Best wishes, Gershon

I am reading this in a sing-songy way, enjoying it totally when I got to theline about "earn your keep on the street as a whore" which stopped me in my tracks and made me laugh. An unexpected surprise like this usually does. Ending is hilarious now that I am older.

Ha, ha! Thanks for your comment. (I'm trying to picture you as 'older.' To me, you are the eternally young energizer bunny) … and speaking of the ending, are you flossing too?! ~ Gershon Wolf, D.D.S. (Deranged, Ditzy Souper) :)
