(Thanks to Donna of for this great graphic).
(They say elephants never forget and I will never forget this night out) lol!!
HELLO EVERYBODY I HOPE THAT ALL OF YOU.
HAVE HAD A LOVELY EASTER SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO.
EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL OUT CAME MY PAD AND PEN.
I'M BACK NOW TO MY JOURNAL AND COMMENTING AGAIN.
MY SIMPLE RHYME TODAYS ABOUT " A SILVER WEDDING DATE".
FOR A FRIEND OF MINE THAT WE WERE ASKED TO ATTEND AND CELEBRATE.
A BRILLIANT TIME DID FOLLOW WITH SONGS AND YES MUCH CHAT.
EVERYBODY GATHERED ROUND TALKING THIS AND THAT.
THE DRINKS WERE FLOWING FREELY A GROUP THERE WAS ON STAGE.
PLAYING ALL THE OLDIES WHICH AT THIS TIME WERE THE RAGE.
1969 WE DRESSED IN WIGS AND ROCK AND ROLL GEAR.
BUT OUR FRIEND WAS IN HER SUNDAY BEST FOR HER 25TH YEAR.
SHE WANTED TO STAND OUT FROM US AND SO SHE DRESSED UP SWELL.
SO EVERYONE WOULD KNOW SHE WAS THE ANNIVERSARY BELLE.
AS TIME PASSED BY WE ALL GOT MERRY A FEW DRINKS DOWN THE LINE.
NO PROBLEMS JUST A HAPPY CROWD AND ALL WAS GOING FINE.
OUR FRIEND SHE DRANK UP MORE AND MORE WHILST WE HAD A JIVE OR TWO.
ALL HUSBANDS WIVES AUNTS AND UNCLES GOT UP TWO BY TWO.
THESE DRINKS HAD ALL BEEN PAID FOR VODKA WAS HER DRINK.
NOT A DANCER WAS SHE SO DUTCH COURAGE SHE DID THINK.
THE DRINKS WOULD MAKE HER TIPSY AND THEN SHE'D HAVE A GO.
AT ROCK AND ROLL AND TWISTING INSTEAD OF WALTZES SLOW.
BEFORE TOO LONG YES SHE WAS UP THERE BOPPING UP AND DOWN.
REQUESTING ALL HER FAVOURITE TUNES OF THE ROCK AND ROLL SOUND.
AFTER QUITE A TIME SHE SAID I MUST GO TO THE LOO.
I DON'T FEEL VERY WELL AND YOU ALL KNOW IV'E HAD A FEW.
WE ALL SAT THERE ENJOYING A LOVELY BUFFET SPREAD.
FEEDING ALL OUR FACES WHEN SOMEONE ANXIOUS SAID.
I WONDER WHERE MY SISTER IS SHE'S BEEN GONE QUITE A WHILE.
HER HUBBY SAID SHE'S AT THE LOO THE VODKA'S CRAMPED HER STYLE.
WE WAITED AND WE WAITED AND STILL THERE WAS NO SIGN.
SO WORRIED I SAID I'LL GO SEE IF EVERYTHING IS FINE.
JUST THEN THE LOO DOOR OPENED AND HER SISTER DID APPEAR.
SHE CAME OVER TO THE TABLE I SAID ARE YOU OK MY DEAR.
SHE SAT THERE GAZING UP AT US NOT ANSWERING BACK AT ALL.
HER HUBBY WASN'T PLEASED HE THOUGHT THAT SHE HAD SPOILED THE BALL.
COME ON HE SAID WER'E GOING HOME I THINK YOUV'E HAD ENOUGH.
YOUR FACE IS LIKE A GHOST AND YOU ARE LOOKING PRETTY ROUGH.
IN SILENCE SHE IGNORED HIM AND NEVER MADE A MOVE.
ANOTHER FRIEND TOOK HER HAND AND PULLED HER UP TO GROOVE.
STILL SHE LOOKED SO PALE AS SHE WAS DANCING ROUND THE FLOOR.
HER HEAD WAS BOWED AND SHE DIDN'T LOOK SO HAPPY ANY MORE.
ON RETURNING TO THE TABLE WE ASKED HER WHAT WAS WRONG.
SHE MUMBLED IV'E BEEN SICK AND NOW MY FALSE TEETH THEY ARE GONE.
SHE EXPLAINED SHE DIDN'T FEEL WELL AND WHEN SHE HAD BEEN SICK .
SHE FLUSHED THE TOILET GOT HER MAKEUP BAG OUT PRETTY QUICK.
TO PUT ON SOME MORE LIPSTICK IN THE MIRROR AS WE DO.
AND YELLED OH NO!!! MY MOUTH HAS SUNK MY TEETH ARE DOWN THE LOO.
SHE'D LOOKED BACK DOWN THE TOILET BUT HER TEETH HAD DISAPEARED.
AFRAID TO COME BACK OUT AND WHAT WE'D SEE IS WHAT SHE FEARED.
WELL WE WERE IN HYSTERICS HER HUBBY SAID I KNEW.
I CANNOT EVEN TAKE HER TO OUR OWN CELEBRATION DO.
WE WERE ROCKING AND A ROLLING BUT WITH LAUGHTER NOT WITH DANCE.
EVERYONE IN HYSTERICS BUT HER HUBBY WAS IN A TRANCE.
YOUR GOING HOME RIGHT NOW HE CRIED AND GRABBED HER ARM AND SAID.
I'M NOT SITTING HERE WITH GUMMY FACE I WOULDN'T BE SEEN DEAD.
WE JUST COULD NOT CONTROL OURSELVES BUT HE WAS TERRIBLY MAD.
OUR FREIND SAT THERE NO TEETH IN AND LOOKING VERY SAD.
I CARN'T SIT HERE OR DANCE WITH YOU WITH NO TEETH IN AT ALL.
WHEN WE CAME OUT YOU LOOKED LIKE CINDERELLA OF THE BALL.
BUT CINDERELLA LOST HER SLIPPER NOT HER FLIPPING TEETH.
HE YELLED AT HER COME ON NOW UGLY SISTER I AM PEAVED .
YOU'RE DENTURES ARE NOW SAILING DOWN TO THE LOCAL SEWER.
AND PRINCE CHARMING HERE IS LIVID THATS FOR BLOOMING SURE.
NEXT DAY SHE FOUND AN OLD SET AND I'M HAPPY TO TELL YOU.
SHE HASN'T LOST HER TEETH SINCE SHE USES SOME STRONG GLUE.
SO WHENEVER SHE GOES CELEBRATING OUT FOR A GOOD TIME.
SHE NEVER ENDS UP GUMMY LIKE IN " MYSIMPLE RHYME"
HE- HE- WHAT A NIGHT!!! THAT WAS LOL!!!!
HOW COULD I EVER FORGET.
(Thankyou Missie For My Lovely Siggy)

That was great, I needed the laugh thanks Deanna
1969 was the year i got married the day after boxing day in a registry office. For our 25th wedding anniversary we got our marriage blessed in church. Thankfully all my teeth are mine but my dad lost his a few times after a pint or two. He always found them later and when we said where were they he always said 'Don't ask' lol!
Jenny <><
Oh I laughed and laughed at that one...what a time for sure! I hope her dear hubby got over it. Thanks for the laugh! I'll soon be wiping away the tears. 'On Ya' - ma

Hehehehe...hahahaha...OMG, Kath, I'm dying here. I never ever expected that to be the reason she wouldn't leave the bathroom. I would have been laughing hysterically. I'm sure in a year or two, her husband will be looking back and laughing also. This sounds like a classic story that will get told over and over again at family gatherings. ROFL....Love xx Chris
