Facebook advert 

I saw an advert
 for teeth 
a couple had winning smiles
I thought they must be American
thinking of Joe Biden's 
dentures, make him look like 
an elderly shark
Cesar Milan, the dog man
is a showman but appears
to be good at taming dogs 
his gnashers are impressive 
In my vanity and some of my teeth
had left in protest 
I went to a dentist, asked for
 new teeth  so I could display 
a happy countenance
my god, the price to afford the price
one has to be a dog person 
or a presidential candidate 
A man who is not a dentist but makes
falls teeth for dentists
offered to make teeth I could put
on top of my old teeth 
thinking this was a bit of a mouthful
I turned him down
since I'm not a person who spends 
time smiling a lot 
I decided to stick with my old teeth
