Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

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

Beryl Edmonds September 24, 2022 at 9:19 PM 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
