Aside from politics and religion

there is one topic that's shy of discussion

and that is TEETH,

the grand parade of them

or the sorry state of them.

 

Decisions on their fate, of

refurbishment or a dental plate,

are often made in the safer skull

where the brain begins to calculate

costs that seem to escalate. 

 

A full set of gnashers

brings out the flashers

like the Rolling Stones

still making old bones.

 

Sad to say my quota has fallen

I make the best of 'em

having lost the rest of 'em,

and despite the ads

 

you can't whiten gaps like highland maps,

so for the foreseeable future 

watch this space.
