A Restrained Welcome Poem by Theresa Ann Moore
A Restrained Welcome
I haven’t seen you for quite a while
I am so happy I would love to smile
But you see my joy is restrained
A lost tooth is severely to blame
As I was driving and chewing gum
A crown released and made me glum
Should have known I was tempting fate
Because the tooth had begun to ache
So my love, don’t think me rude
For that would be inaccurate to conclude
My upper lip is firmly taut to conceal
A hideous gap that must not be revealed
Don’t misinterpret and think I am uncaring
I am only sparing you from frightful scaring
Rely on my hugs and joyous tone of voice
See the delight in my eyes and let’s rejoice
My self-conscious blight has been an ordeal
I can hardly wait until I regain my former appeal
My broad smile will return the next time we meet
Skillful repair will reestablish my ability to greet
Also made me laugh, and brought back memories of painful ache. Keep upp the good work Theresa. Love Bob.

This made me laugh. The number of dates I've cancelled in the past because I was looking less then perfect.... fortunately Man Of Dreams And Rest Of Life is happy to be shacked up with an ugly ole witch. :) t x
