BUTTONED-UP

A lady involved in a feud,

Was a buttoned-up prim little prude,

The thoughts in her mind

Were obscene and unkind

But she thought vocalising was rude.

WHITE TEETH!

Well, here's a very bare cook cover!

It's left to the reader to discover

If it is good enough to read.

It may be very good indeed!

But should off-white be the tint?

Doesn't it give a sort of hint

That the teeth are not a pure white colour

But something infinitely duller?

Goodness! That white is quite forlorn!

Dentists would treat that shade with scorn,

Making the owner cringe and blush

Saying 'Haven't you ever used a brush?'

These teeth must be more beige than white!

Not a very attractive sight.

However, the discrepancy

Between the title and what we see

Has made me give it my attention.

The publisher may have had that intention!

Marketing can be quite sly;

Who knows what will attract the eye?
