Re: Roberts poems (part 1)
I had a terrible ache in my jaw
It went on for the best part of a week
I had never had pain like this before
So medical help I did seek
The dentist said you silly man
Where did you get these dentures from
I said I keep them on the stand
He said have you had them in very long
I said every day of course, for years
I keep them in a glass of water
But they’ve never before caused me tears
Dear boy let me tell you what you oughta
He said your wearing your wife’s false teeth
How on earth did that ever take place
I said we keep both sets, while we sleep
Next to other in the same glass, save waste
Of water, so there , its easily done
Now the pain has gone away
But it caused a lot of fun
Its not the silliest thing I’ve ever done
But it’s the silliest yet today
