"ode To Horror Brush"

Free verse Rhyme

Let us not make a fuss
About the horror brush
Knowing her, she surely didn’t cuss
Though she was blush
 
As the lips pucker
We shall know a sucker
O spit it out
Just  makes the gums so stout

Pearly white teeth
Still beneath
Give a smile of relief
I see my teeth

Makes me nearly tinkle,
Remembering the tube’s wrinkle
Spit all over the wall
`T is my call
 
Though I didn’t see it at all
 As the anonymous... sucker of pucker, spit on the wall
This is how it was told unto us all
Not toothpaste at all,... but hemorrhoids due call

Headlines do read, Sharks do feed!!

Shark liver oil, causing a recoil
Temporary relief, for hyped up teeth
Petrolatum 71.9 %,.... without even my mind’s consent
I applied the shrink,...to my gums, so pink

The Shire of the hour...... told this story..I am... sure
To keep us all from bore
Stored laughter, shark’s revenge, from shore to shore
Anonymous Gal,  please tell me more

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Anonymous gal ey? I'm sure the Shire will appreciate this tribute. I myself stuck with the nickname "The Visionary" based on the title of her poetry book. Thanks for the humorous pick me up Moses, I could use a laugh:)

John, Are you sure this is about an anonymous gal? LOL It was Biofreeze for me... a distasteful substitute for toothpaste.

Wow! Great poem, Moses! You did your research on the hemorrhoid cream, too. I just spit it into the sink (LOL). There have been breakins next door and several neighbors homes the past two nights. Been tied up dealing with investigating deputies. Do love this write, though! Love you, too! Carolyn
