I parted from some friends last year
And still feel rather sad.
The friction that rose between us,
Was getting really bad.
We did have numerous meals together,
Which for years went really well.
Exactly where it all went wrong
Is very hard to tell.
I thought about this for ages
I didn’t want us to part.
But in the end I thought I must
Put head ahead of heart.
The friendship ended there and then
As I knew it would.
And though I say this of myself
My new dentures look quite good.
ha Ha , Bet you have a Friendly Smile Now. XXX
You really must not fall out with teeth
The parting must be really brief
I am pleased to hear you like those new gnashers
And you can now enjoy crispy bacon rashers.
Can't wait to see the new smile Master Po.

Found that very sad. Same thing happened to me I don't think they understand the lung stuff just think your making a fuss
They say to me why don't you come to our house for a change
When they visited I don't think they could have noticed the stairlift the downstairs toilet or me plugged into oxygen machine
See what you've made me do rant on and on.. think I'll get some new teeth
Ha ha ha! you played me at my own game Dilly2. I thought you had taken me seriously until I got to the last line. 😄
That made me laugh x
LOLLOLLOL Got me again! Mr Don you are CREATIVE! Janet127
Don, Didn't you keep the old ones as spares!
I keep everything in case it's useful!
My teeth did a runner. Last time I went out for a meal. Must been the shock of the. Price. So. Be careful. Put down for a mow and. Turn your back. Whoosh their. Lively. Buggars.
Very good Don. Pete’s awaiting new dentures so I hope his are good too. Xxx 😘🥰
Wondered where that one was going. And felt sad for you till the last line Don unexpectedly you were talking teeth really amused me and written well💕X
Nice one. I didn't see the ending coming x
There is a good story I heard during my training, most likely an "urban myth" as came across it in 3 hospitals.
Trainee Nurse on the Geriatric (to be Politically Correct "Elderly Care") Ward, asked to do the "teeth cleaning" am rota for the ward. She (always a she!!) went round the ward with a large plastic basin and collected all the teeth, cleaned them up beautifully, only then did she work out, that she had not kept them in pairs and did not know who any of them belonged to, Chaos then ensued whilst she tried teeth out in every mouth.
Re Political Correctness, why am I now no longer allowed to call elderly care consultants Geriatricians. Consultants for children are still call Paediatricians and Gynaecologists are not called pregnant women's consultants. Yes using Greek in medicine a little old fashioned, but we all know what it means (or most of us) and has been used for a long time.
PC is a load of nonsense. I’d feel better cared for by being treated by a Geriatrician than elderly care consultant. There must surely be young care consultants or is it a case of the elderly looking after their own?🤔
I’ve heard the mixed up denture story a few times. I do hope it’s true. 😂
My friend Janette was a nurse -- she trained in Edinburgh and is _very_ pernickity ... but she told me that as a trainee on her very first night shift, she was told to collect and clean all the false teeth from the patients on the geriatric ward -- and she threw them all into a bowl. She said that she was half way through the brushing thereof when suddenly it hit her, that she had no idea whose teeth were whose.
So there you have it -- straight from the nurse's mouth.
Cheers

Thanks now know it is true!!
Love it 😅. Give her a hug from me.
Yet another wicked one! And there I was about to commiserate 
Am I the last to catch up with today's headlines Mr.D ? I do like something I can really get my teeth into 😁 and you've been so accommodating with your rhyme.
Yes!!! It's a ✳✳CLASSIC✳✳ Mr.D. 😜😂😂😆😘
To be honest SH I first posted this one 2 years ago. I don’t like repeating myself but I had trouble coming up with something new. Having a lot of responses like I have had usually kick starts me off again so tomorrow’s will be new.😉x
That's right Mr.D......a new day with new rhymes,so make it a good'un would you please. I'm not asking for a spectacular "Classic", but something almost up to that standard if possible! (How blooming cheeky can this Squirrel get eh ?).
Goodnight,Dolly,Scarecrow Sally,Midge and Mr.D. 💤💤💞
Oh I do know where to come when i want a laugh and today i had a bonus ---all these teeth everywhere. I can't compete with that.
Haha I like that one Don
Love it!
Ha Ha so funny
yes Don. made me laugh.
My late husband Bob popped his dentures in his cardigan pocket after a meal and settled down to watch TV. A short while later we heard our dog Laddie crunching on a bone. That was odd - we hadn't given him a bone recently. Turned out he'd stolen Bob's dentures out of his pocket and was chewing them up! It took months before the dentist was able to produce a new strong well-fitting set.
That cracked me up...what a nice way to start the day - you are quite the master of suspense though!
That's great, like it Don_1931.👍
Ha ha Don. Another funny masterpiece. x
Fantastic sense of humour. Give me more of this !
I was feeling sad for you, you trickster !!
Love it.!! I was in same position 4 years ago. 🙂😁
I was getting really sad until I read the last line and busted out laughing.
A poem to cheer us up! I really liked it and will pass it on to appropirate friends. More please.
Brilliant 👍 thanks for that I can always rely on you to cheer me up 🤣😂 . It’s great youv got an amazing talent in your poems . Are there ever going to be a few poetry books in the horizon. Thanks again 💜💜
Thanks for helping me start the day with a lot of laughs provided by both you and others. It's worth a few coughs that sometimes go with the laughs. Keep it up!
Good one. I have 9 of my own teeth left and wish they would just get rid of at least the bottom 4.
Nothing but trouble my teeth, dentists love me. Paid for a couple of cars I reckon.
Hang on to those bottom teeth
They're worth their weight in gold.
Because the bottom dentures
Need something to keep hold.
If they have no anchor
Of this there's little doubt
When you have a coughing fit
They'll come shooting out
Haha thanks for the advice you cunning linguist! I will endeavour to hang on to the little guys after all.
Still trying to get used to top plate; not too bad and definitely great to be able to eat stuff that isn’t totally soft!
Strange feeling wearing it though, didn’t expect that and not really told much about it either of course by my dentist.
When did all doctors and dentists decide to stop telling patients anything at all about what is going on?
Getting any information out of them is like, well, pulling teeth yes bet you saw that coming haha.
Have a good weekend!
