Chin Up

It would be funny, Instead, it's sad. We acquire mouths Like ventriloquists dummies, Which can be bad. Age does this to some, It occurs around the mouth, Lines appear at the sides of our lips, And continue going south. It's amusing and looks rather *****. Unlike the ventriloquist's dummy We can say clear Chin up, have A BOTTLE OF BEER.

Nice poem, Shirley. I appreciate light verse from time to time. All serious makes for a sad boy, girl, man, woman...etc. Have a great Christmas! Bill

Hmmmm...I can't imagine why they would censor the word "queer." Very strange.
