Seren Roberts Poet Couplet

Sunday Not Gumday

They sit there in a glass, looking so forlorn
The old lady was as gummy, as the day that she was born

She ate her food without them, her nose nearly reaching her chin
I ask why not wear your dentures, why not just pop them in.

She looked at me with horror. as though I had said a rude word
I only wear them on Sunday's so don't be so absurd.

If i wear  them all the time, you won't be able to see
When I am all dressed up, it's a special day for me.

These teeth have to last me my lifetime, when in my coffin at rest
Please make sure my teeth are in, want  to look my best.

So the  glaring teeth look down at me, pleading they look me in the eyes
Please release me set me free, or she will use us to crimp the pies

Tim Ryerson April 26, 2015 at 6:51 PM Hilarious!! I never knew you had a sense of humor...THAT'S nice to see! However, I see one flaw in her argument. If her nose nearly reaches her chin, who's gonna see her dentures anyway? Congrats - Tim Seren Roberts April 26, 2015 at 7:43 PM Oh Tim there's a lot you don't know lol. Anyway your not very observant, have you not seen an old person , without teeth eat, their noses do look like they reach their chin. Then when put in dentures look near enough normal.......Seren

Emile Pinet April 22, 2015 at 5:17 PM A light dusting of the old funny bone with a mild chuckle thrown in for good measure. What can I say ..it's not Shakespear but then again, what is? Emile.
