Drawback To Mask-Wearing

Her beguiling eyes took my breath away Above the silken mask she chose to wear Her coif most flattering above her face, Until I saw her teeth -- the worst, I swear! Written August 8, 2022

I suppose you could say that. Gershon and I go back as far as I can remember being on PS.

A visit to the dentist is long overdue bet she was glad when they brought in the mask rule. Tom

Possibly. Or, she might have been on meth (which will destroy a person's teeth) for all I know.

Glad you got a laugh out of this one, Jenna. I don't know how it came about, but sometimes I get these crazy thoughts!
