Page Title

An awful thing happened as I’m sure you’ll agree.
Granny lost her false teeth when she swam in the sea
     For a wave knocked her over and Gran was confused,
     And she walked up the beach looking very bemused.

​

"What has happened to Granny?" we asked Mum and Dad,
"For she won’t speak a word and her face looks so sad."
        Granny sat on her deckchair and started to sigh.
       "Oh whatever’s the matter?" but there came no reply.

​

But the truth was revealed when we went for a meal
For her secret was awfully hard to conceal.
     "Oh I can’t eat my dinner! I can’t chew this beef!
      Oh how will I manage without any teef?"

​

"Look, there’s fish on the menu.  That’s softer to chew."
"Yes, I’ll have some," said Granny, and added: "Thank you."
      She cut into the fish – "What’s this lurking beneath?"
      Well you’d hardly believe it - Gran’s full set of teeth!
