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!
