False teeth- False loveA Poem by John ButlerAn old rogue meets an old gal and eye each up for money and neither has any! Find out what happens when they discover they're both broke.His teeth were false But so was she Her tear dropped gentle sob His flashing smile concealed from her A gurnied gummy gob He wore a wig But so did she Not just for satisfaction She had to stack the odds her way The laws of sweet attraction His words were lies But so were hers She only wanted money He told her he was stinking rich She said she was his honey He lied about his love for art She told him he was great And all the while she sized him up To be her wedded mate Many times she held his hand Many times she cried Said she lived for only him And would until she died That fateful day he told the truth He had to let it out She hit the roof and blew her top Began to scream and shout 'You lying swine!' 'I gave my all' She uttered in a sob His jaw dropped then And as it did Revealed his gummy gob His teeth were false But so was she She lorded over men They both threw out their ghastly wigs And never met again Yes.His teeth were false But so was she. © 2015 John Butler |
