Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Truer Words Were Never Spoken Through Falser Teeth

If on history books we can rely

     'Tis said Washington never told a lie

          He had false teeth it is said

               Yet uttered truths from his head

                    But pols now with 'wisdom' teeth are so sly
