Clowning Around

We're so underappreciated You'd think we're in-laws Yet without us you could have The most powerful set of jaws Yet it'd be nigh impossible To chew, eat or swallow If you dared pose for a selfie You'd make sure not to smile We're your Teeth, top and bottom And you're just clowning around If you think there's no benefit To having us Crowned Save the exorbitant expense of toothpaste and toothbrush of mouthwash and dental floss ~ all driving your budget deep underground

Love the line about 'having us Crowned' - that's a royal pun!

You have helped me more than you could have known. I was debating and debating whether or not to use the word Crowned--and your positive feedback has validated the decision. I owe you one, my dear friend. Blessings, Gershon
