Substitooth

There was an old lady from Spain Who found eating pasta a strain. However she tried, Her false teeth would slide And land in her glass of champagne. Her husband said 'darling don't fret, Just chuck out the bothersome set!' So now she sucks chips Through puckering lips Abandoning all etiquette! 20.04.20 Limerick Poetry Contest - sponsored by Janice Canerdy
