But Which Jaw Drops – the Upper? Or the Lower?
An advert assures us its product is jaw-dropping
If true, this loss of body parts would be painful
And which part of the purchaser’s jaw drops?
The upper jaw? The lower jaw? The set?
Given our recent experience with Nile.com
We can’t be sure of both jaws for one price
The advertisement might be for a set of jaws
But the small print says you have to pay extra
For a complete jaw-jaw
As a dime-store guru from the 60s might ask
What is the sound of one jaw dropping?

Titanium Jaw
Eryri
Oct 2018
When I was young I wanted nothing more than a titanium jaw.
I'd read that a titanium jaw cost just a few grand and was all above board.
But this need for a titanium jaw was simply machismo, bravado and little else more.
Plus, I'd no longer be seen as a bore! Girls would surely be impressed by my titanium jaw.
And if someone's hand were to break upon my titanium jaw, it would surely be self-defence in the eyes of the law.
I never did get my titanium jaw...never likely to either now that I'm forty-four.
