All My Adventures

     Though I traveled the world 
       I never did find
     aught but vacuous
       women and wine

     Distant shores 
       promised gold
     panned for weeks
       then got rolled  

    Wonders of nature
       thrilled me not
     manmade marvels
       I quickly forgot…

    A fitting end to 
       all my adventures
    Woe is me ~ I lost
       my dentures

Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 8/24/2025 5:13:00 PM this poem cracked me up. :-) I can't tell you how many times I lost my retainer...right after college. I drove from Texas to Indiana for a new job...lost it somewhere in the Ozarks . About every six weeks, I misplaced them until finally I said, "No more!" wishing you a pleasant week ahead Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 8/24/2025 6:44:00 PM Kind of like how I can't tell you how many times my temporary bridges have fallen -- or flown -- out over the years. Pretty funny stuff.
