A limerick and a haiku (senryu) with teeth today. First, my limerick:
I think I’m becoming unglued —
Not my mind, but a cap caught on food.
But I can’t blame the guy
Who implanted it. Why?
I forgot to get perm-glued — not shrewd!
And now my haiku (senryu):
The left and the right
May mouth off at each other,
But both hate dentists.
