This is a cautionary tale, <br />but I must add that it is true. <br />Last week my wife after eating an evening meal <br />decided to remove her bottom plate and put on a tray. <br />It seemed that it was rubbing against her gums. <br />Our next-door neighbour came in <br />and she and Vera retired to the kitchen <br />to play a game of cards. <br />After a couple of hands they heard <br />our youngest cat Charlie playing with something, <br />they thought it was just one of her toys. <br />It wasn’t until the next morning <br />when she went to put her teeth in <br />that she realised that the toy <br />Charlie was playing with <br />were actually her bottom teeth. <br />The moral of this story <br />is if you have false teeth, <br />always put them away <br />or some passing cat might think <br />they are a new toy <br />to have a game with and play. <br /> <br /> <br />(12 November 2007)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-leave-your-teeth-on-a-tray-or-the-cat-will-play-with-them-fun-poem-44/
