Pearly Whites

| 12 Comments

Be sure to guard your pearly whites

To brush and floss in morn and night

It’s easy when you’re in your youth

To take for granted every tooth.

But day will come when you will find

Toothaches will make you lose your mind

They ache and throb, your face will swell

You’d swear you’ve died and gone to hell

Take them for granted?  Don’t you dare!

You’ll miss them so, when they’re not there!

  1. Haha Anne this is brilliant and so true!!!

    • :D Thanks Alex. I’ve been trying to get a good picture of my new smile with my cellphone, and they all just look so bad. My cellphone just won’t take a good picture at all. Maybe my daughter can do it later with hers. :)

  2. Very nice Anne , good way to start the week , a good laugh , and words to heed…lol loved it

  3. HA HA HA HA HA!!! Great poem, and I love the pic at the end of the toothless granny! :D :D

    • Thanks Skye. :) Yes, somehow I think that’s a fake pic, looking closely at it. Which is why I posted it, because I would’ve felt badly posting a real one of someone. That could’ve been me! (lol)

  4. Now that is my laugh for the morning! I love, love, love the humorous way you approached this one! I see a book of humourous health poems for children in this! Dr. Seuss move over Ann Sikes is about to become Grandma Anne, darling of Children’s Verse Books with a moral!
