Your teeth, oh so like the stars the way they come out at night Your skin, rippled like cordouroy Oh, Honey, it feels so right! Your hair of silvery-blue spun like spidery-silk webs The delicate strips combed over the top of your shiny head! You're just so fun to have around with all your liver spots Why, I could spend the hours playing connect the dots! You've got such a sweet aroma A truly heavenly scent Who needs expensive cologne When you've got Polident? I love your little shuffle as on your way you wend But will you get to "there" in time? I guess it all Depends! As I sit here next to you In matching rocking chairs I see you looking back at me with that loving, vacant stare... Yes, I know that you love me, Dear Our life has not been futile For every day into your juice I slipped some Metamucil! You smile at me crookedly and I see your dentures slide So lean on over and give me a kiss But keep those teeth inside! caroline 1999 all rights reserved ------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |

Absolutely great humor, Caroline! (but it does sadden me to find out you're seeing Toerag behind my back) |

I don't think I've laughed that hard all day. Hell, all month! Such imagery! I can only hope that my wife looks upon me so fondly. Truly funny stuff. Thanks for sharing.  PS. Thanks for the comment on my fast food piece. Much appreciated. |

Toerag?? Why, my Deer Balla-doll, a lady would never kiss and tell!  (Besides, I think one Suthern Belle is all he can handle!)------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |

Thanks everyone. The credit really goes to a guy I work with who is always making me laugh. He came out with that first line and I just couldn't stop! ------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |
