It is a clever man,
Who says a clever thing,
So everyone in earshot will bear witness as he sings.
However, 'tis a man,
Who's far more clever still,
That will ignore the man before, and follow his own will.

9/6/11

The teeth are like a record of the life that we have led,

For all along their marred and pitted surface they contain,

The evidence of how our bodies are maintained and fed,

Each vice betrayed by every altered shade and subtle stain.

Such evidence, we may attempt to brush and polish clean,

But expert eyes identify indulgence, binge and sin.

Still, it would seem, that those with teeth, perhaps not quite pristine,

Will tend to be, despite these flaws, those who most often grin.
