Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

George Washington's False Teeth - For Contest

Washington wore fake teeth as voiced beneath,

   But with sagacious thoughts did us bequeath!

      And after profound weighing,

         It just goes without saying:

            Truer words were ne'er said through falser teeth!
