Those perfect false teeth
that chew through truth,
spit out gristle,
guzzle down hope,
cough up lies.
At night, they float mysterious,
all chatter silenced by
an illusory amniotic sac.

Great title - and the first poem I've ever read about false teeth.

Reminds me of another little gem:

Crosby, Stills and Nash -
2 beards and 1 moustache.

Much enjoyed over here, as well! I don't know why, but your poem perfectly matched my somewhat moody Monday morning feeling…

This is a very funny video David Crosby can barely keep a straight face watching and listening to Tom Jones singing.

They all seem to be struggling to keep a straight face... and Neil Young came later (and wouldn't fit in the poem) :rolleyes5:

Now that's what I like to see-- expressive verbs, four of them in the opening five lines.

Quite right Aunty!

Another strange one Delta - I get the feeling everyone's discovering/tapping into their (subconscious) dreams around here lately ;)


@hill:

There was an old man from Black Heath
Who sat on his own false teeth
He jumped with a start
Cried "Bless me heart!"
"I've bitten meself underneath!"

You have awakened a childhood facination with my grandmother's false teeth in a glass; they always seemed like something going horribly against the grain of realitty. Strange but interesting poem, Delta.
