In the Footsteps of WC Fields
Be true to your teeth
U.S. - July 27, 2024 (Updated July 27, 2024)
I’d say heck
I was about five years old.
I said something random to my my bud
About
Perhaps baseball
Or the cotton trees blowing off their cotton
I commented to my bud on the world
You see.
He said
"That’s an interesting thought"
I rejoined thusly:
"Thought?
What is thought?"
He said "a thought.
It’s a thing in your head,
Makes you interested in the world
A comment on stuff in your life
Like from your own newscaster
Your brain."
I said "good god
I am interested.
Not totally committed,
But interested."
That was when I got really into basketball
And weather reporting.
You can fall down into a pool
And lose yourself
Your brain may be silly
Be true to your teeth
Or they will be false to you.
That kind of stuff.
Your brain
Will be false to you any day of the week.
Anyhow
Can’t we all agree?
So what if I have gigantism in my feet?
