the toothbrush poem

Texting, how the youth rush
Joyfully or fraught,
Giving to the toothbrush
Hardly any thought.

We take them for granted,
Firmly in the mouth
Every morning planted
Scrubbing north and south.

Purple, plastic, shiny
Mine is rarely seen,
It's not big or tiny
And my spare one's green.

Like a soft breeze whistles,
Like the Fonz so cool,
Straight and full of bristles
Is this little tool.

Rather than the Channel
UK breaks I've backed
With the soap and flannel
And the toothbrush packed.

While there is no dull date
Loving seaside views,
What good is the Colgate
With no brush to use?

Cleaning teeth together
We could make the news,
Let's cheer on forever
Toothbrushes we use!

Musty you have passed the challenge, very good.

Cleaning teeth together
We could make the news,
Let's cheer on forever
Toothbrushes we use!


But over and above the buzzing,
and in between the flossing,
will you hear me shout..
"My battery is running out!"?

Charge it up and you will find
a continued quicker brushing time

Hahahahaha! I should be "Bizzy" more often as it's been lots of fun in here. Promise me you poets that if I do come in you won't stay away.

Now please believe me, it's only in your own interests that I urge you to forsake the electric toothbrushes and return to the old fashioned manual ones. You know perfectly well that we all need plenty of exercise, so don't be lazy - you know I'm only telling you this for your own good.

By the way Musty, I've always had a problem with the time. When I log on at this time of the year the posts are two hours back, but in winter, they're one hour back. When I'm not logged in, the time shown is correct. I've just got used to it.

Now my biggest sister,
for fright of a blister,
will not Oral B
until a coffee.

I use a normal toothbrushe when I go on holiday which isn't that often.

Something is better than nothing Sandy. Just make sure you use a different hand on alternate days, otherwise you'll end up with one huge muscular arm and one flaccid one - not a good look.

How Strange

How strange one can be
those on another level
and with what they see
base on logic or little sense
stories from what place whence.

Brushing teeth should only take a few minutes.

This is one of my favourite poems in your book.

Hope you are feeling much better as I see you have been a bit 'off colour'.
Great that Biz and others kept things going

Oooh yes! There are some very strange people around Sandy - take care who you communicate with.


Ah, but everything has an effect Sandy. Butterfly's wing and that.


It's great that he decided to publish BB isn't it?

You can fix that by clicking "Quick Links" at the top of any DS page and then click "Edit Options" and scroll down to "Date & Time Options". I change my "DST Correction Option" to "DST Corrections Always On" during summer time and change the setting when the clocks go back to GMT etc., but you may find the "Automatically Detect" setting works for you/Musty.

Thank you Archiver. I found that I already had the "Automatically Detect" setting, but the location was "Azores, Cape Verde Islands" for some unknown reason. I've changed it to "GMT, London etc."

...........And it has worked. Thank you again, I would never have discovered that without your help.

Biz, have you been on the sherry today?

Make it Champagne and we can share.

Champagne on a Thursday, in the afternoon, that does sound quite appealing

You only live once - might as well enjoy it.

Enjoy your champagne, cheers.

Just a few minutes ago on the news, Boris was being interviewed and some guy walked by accidently, he was drinking something alcoholic.

Thought I'd better reply before the sherry takes too much of a hold

Yes it's great when anyone achieves a dream. I hope Musty feels proud when he sees it on his shelf

Aaargh! What have we done. We're a very bad influence.


He'll be even more proud when the next one is published.
