Ha ha! ! ! ! Yes I saw it coming Tom .Well crafted, light and airy, and maybe a little scary- toothpaste for God sake It reminded me of the time I put salt instead of sugar into a pie Ugh I love your humorous poems Tom we poets can be way too serious sometimes
I submitted a rather long comment on this poem the other day, it never went through -So.......... Anyway this poem is delightfully zany.

I suppose mint flavoured toothpaste might be okay but I can't see that recipe creeping into many cookery books!
