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!

Michael Tor Date: 8/11/2022 3:02:00 AM lol liked this one Milton you have been hanging around Gershon, ha ha. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 8/11/2022 7:55:00 AM I suppose you could say that. Gershon and I go back as far as I can remember being on PS.

Kim Rodrigues Date: 8/9/2022 3:22:00 PM Put the mask back on! Put it back on…lol Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 8/9/2022 4:21:00 PM By all means, Kim. Maybe the next person will be nicer about it. Just kiddin'. This, too, is fiction!

Rico Leffanta Date: 8/9/2022 11:10:00 AM Her moustache would have been more shocking! Aloha! Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 8/9/2022 12:08:00 PM That would be very true, Rico. That never entered my mind!

Tom Cunningham Date: 8/9/2022 10:57:00 AM A visit to the dentist is long overdue bet she was glad when they brought in the mask rule. Tom Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 8/9/2022 12:08:00 PM Possibly. Or, she might have been on meth (which will destroy a person's teeth) for all I know.

Jenna Logan Date: 8/9/2022 7:55:00 AM lol Milt. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 8/9/2022 8:14:00 AM 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!

Gershon Wolf Date: 8/8/2022 7:52:00 PM Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! How about her breath?! Ha, ha, ha! Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 8/8/2022 8:16:00 PM Even worse, gw. I'm glad I got behind that mask before going too far!
