~~No Laughing Matter.....or Not~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a story, with you I'll share,
No laughing matter, or perhaps maybe not!
So hold on your bellys as I try to explain,
How nonchalant, in trouble I got!!
~~~~~~
Driving along, for a nice ride,
I was jamming to an old familiar tune.
Crusin' down the ol' highway,
It was closin' in on high noon.

An apple I munched for my lunch,
Right down to the pitted core.
Well,..thought I, the birds will love this,
Opting to throw it out the door.

Speeding along at sixty plus five,
Your door you can't really open.
So, in my right hand, I gave it a toss,
But it wasn't what I was hopin'!

Any solid matter around the core,
Had juice enough to splatter.
When it hit the glass at warp speed,
The residue on me did spatter.

Apple juice rolled down the Pane,
And seeds were stuck in place!
The window there, I forgot to open,
Evidence was on my face.

I chewed some gum, I felt so dumb,
Needing to gain my composure.
Within ten miles, the flavor was gone,
Roll the window down for sure.

So, with a great puff, I blew it out,
What happened was to my surprise.
In the event, you wear dentures,
You'll understand, wasn't wise!

In hurricane force, my upper let loose,
With juicy fruit stuck to the top.
Through the open window, it sped like a bullet,
On the center line did stop!



In that instant to my horror,
Red and blue lights flashed behind me.
So I pulled over, off of the shoulder,
My denture, the world to see.

"Offither," I tried to explain,
"Itth not what it lookth like it ith!"
He was in no mood to listen,...
And evidence, presented the judge with!

"Your honor, Thir," I pleaded my case,
He asked why I littered out the window.
"Becauth I had apple theedth thtuck on the glath."
There soon after, he allowed me to go go!

In my own recognisance with denture in hand,
I vow never to let anything out my window land!
It's better to have apple seeds stuck on glass,
Then loosing your dentures,...
I think I'll pass!!!

    ha!

    Very nice. I liked the story, the rhyming was a bit forced in places, but still very funny. Great work and good luck in the contest! --Shannon

    Oh Grace this is a scream.. forgive the pun!

    I can picture this happening in my minds eye! What a hoot! Brilliantly penned as always to poetic perfection on all counts and to sure fire Poet Laureate standard.
    Love the pic of the dog with the false teeth that is hilarious too.
    Great storyline, and the humour here is phenomenal too, wow this piece got it all barring teeth and managing to dodge the cops!
    I always remember having a go at some dopey bloke in a car at the traffic lights who had made some remark about my driving and I near died when he waited until I had given him a serious ticking off and he then held up a cops ID card, Gee I sped off so fast when the traffic lights changed that I virtually took off vertically, gone in a puff of smoke, face on him was agog ha ha!
    Bet the cops who got you for this were secretly sniggering... I would have glued all of their teeth together if that had been me!
    Brilliant work and bravo great fun and well written! Love it, well done! Sorry about the teeth, did the cops get custody of the teeth like Donny Osmond?!
    Hope you win gold in every contest you enter, you well
    deserve to!
    Poetic Hugs and Thanks Millions,
    Kaz.
