There was an old man called Keith
At 81 he had lost all his teeth...
At 91, he had forgotten his new set of false teeth
Poor old Keith starved himself for days he couldn't even chew
not.... without  the aid of his false teeth
Looking everywhere ... for his missing teeth...
in the kitchen, in the shower, in the drawer,
had misplaced his perfect white teeth
forgotten he had laid it on a chair in the living
days before he had dozed off on his rocking chair...
He forgot where they were... not until...
He sat down and was bitten underneath....
