teef are made fur chewin
but there are leeks spewin
if yore chawin baccies good
and yore spittin as one should
so what if some splat on the floor
dey say it stains yore teef
but no more than hogs feet
Taint sumptin to promote
like lawn moors of billy goat
or purdy screens in da door
yore teef may turn yellow
in town deres a fellow
who claims he can clean yore mouth
tis a pity that its Ralph
and he likes torturing galore
God gav us teef to eat
(erybody likes sweet)
so dey fall out now and den
ya dont have to smile my friend
erybody knows youse is poor
whod want to keep teef white
enough to shine like light
dey say yellows natural
dentists jus want teef to pull
rich want to keep teef like before
like children our teef fall
but dats da good Lords call
Hed a glued dem in real well
if deys meant to last a spell
we aint ta bye dem in a store
teef are made fur chewin
modern times are brewin
to make dem last forever
but dey can pain ya brother
dont cha see dat man anymore

Clever play on local habits and lore. I came from the same gummy stock, halfway around the world, where anyone with two ears was considered a sissy, and missing teeth were a joke to show off over beers.
This one had a lovely cadence to it. String a banjo and start pluckin -yeehaw!

| That was an interestingly good write. I like your substitutions for real words in the poem. |
