No Laughing Matter

Laugh at jokes? Jonas? -- not even a few His reputation grew, everyone knew ~ Then he opened his mouth wide Something strange flew out the side ~ Lord no, his dentures ... Jonas came unglued

Hmmm...I recall seeing my wonderful grandmother laugh so hard her dentures flew out. She was always embarrassed, but it was priceless to me.

Laughing at jokes is a certain mistake - When one has got false dentures stuck in place - But wearing a face mask - Stops teeth coming detached - And Jonas could laugh till his belly ached…. Belle
