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.
