New Dentures

Joybels dentures have to go on the heap
After all these years they've earned their keep
They no longer can chew up a juicy steak
Or sink into an apple without causing an ache
She's tired of fish, sausages and mince
But anything tougher just makes her wince
So she rang the number in dire trepidation
And made an appointment without hesitation
To hesitate she knew would give no relief
While the cost would no doubt beggar belief

The first visit caused her no worry at all
He dug out her dentures then had a ball
Showing the deficiencies while she cringed
With her mouth all shrunken unable to grin
When it was time to dicuss the many prices
She realised it was time to give up some vices
Thirty per cent up front said he with a smile
Meekly she nodded but could have run a mile
The thought of a juicy steak on her plate
Is keeping her focused bravely on the date
When her reward will be a new set of teeth
And a smile so brilliant at the end of her grief

Ah Joybel! You've excelled yourself this time. That was amazing. Anyway, on the subject of the masterpiece, I sure hope your new gnashers allow you to enjoy all that lovely grub again. Meanwhile, we eagerly await the next instalment! Hope you don't have to wait too long.

Do you fancy a new game kermos? I'll have to get my thinking cap on. Any ideas that take your fancy? How about something like opposites.....someone puts up a word and the next person has to think of the opposite meaning and then they put up a word.....sound any good?

Righto kermos. How about I go and start a new game so other's will see it too, otherwise no one will know it's here. You go and have a look under Games in the Discussions....I'll call it "Opposites"...ok!
