L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

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 August 11, 2022 at 3:02 AM lol liked this one Milton you have been hanging around Gershon, ha ha. L Milton Hankins August 11, 2022 at 7:55 AM I suppose you could say that. Gershon and I go back as far as I can remember being on PS.

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

Rico Leffanta August 9, 2022 at 11:10 AM Her moustache would have been more shocking! Aloha! L Milton Hankins August 9, 2022 at 12:08 PM That would be very true, Rico. That never entered my mind!

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

Jenna Logan August 9, 2022 at 7:55 AM lol Milt. L Milton Hankins August 9, 2022 at 8:14 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!
