Teeth Dilemma - Contest
A new nurse told fetch the dentures
Was time for the old dears to sleep
Off she went did what was told
But a record she didn't keep
Mayhem next morning oh my
Can u visualise, thirty old dears
Trying dentures on for size
Was a nightmare of worst fears
Old Mrs Jones grinned from ear to ear
Resplendent with gleaming smile
Bad thing was they weren't hers
To get them back took quite awhile
Took a whole morning
for teeth to find right home
Pots will be labelled now
No more dentures on the roam.
Not sure if all dentures did find right homes,
Most can eat meat now when with some
everything was cut up small.
Now smiling chewing keeping mum*
*keeping quiet.
Story is true I was that nurse!!!
