A Well-Kept Secret

There's a quick remedy for those neglected smiles,
even your dentist won't tell you that...
it's still a well-kept secret;
grandma whispered it to mother,
and mother to daughter,
but not father to son? Isn't it hypocritical, boys?
All women must be kissed by impatient men,
and what's more attractive than
teeth whitened by inexpensive baking soda, guys?
It's time you made yours whiter than Paul's!

Hopefully Paul has learned the secret of very white teeth. Very enjoyable reading about this timeless secret... I have used baking soda from time to time myself... great originality :)
