"My Butt Ugly Necklace"
POEM
My Butt Ugly Necklace
Here is a little story about a gal named Jen --
She was just so silly...
She couldn't keep her Teeth IN!
She'd take 'em out to brush 'em,
She'd take 'em out to talk,
She'd take 'em out if you just asked her,
She'd take 'em out to walk.
One day she met a man
She just couldn't like --
He didn't want to see her Teeth--
She couldn't figure why!
This really hurt her feelings --
She was so proud of them,
Jen thought, "Well, I'll fix him,",
"I'll wear them for all to see --
I'll make myself a necklace
That will suit me to a T.
So all my loose ole Toofies,and Look, some pearly whites --
will be displayed for all to see --
And to those who do not like it, then ... Bite Me!
This is My Butt Ugly Necklace
And it serves to remind me -- I Am Woman --
Cross me if you dare!
My Teeth are very handy -- and you have skin to spare!
I just might bite a chunk out
If you hurt my feelings bad --
So remember this Butt Ugly Necklace,
And just go away Mad!
LIST OF MATERIALS:Approximately 75 Gum Wrappers (Gum Wrapper Chain)
Toothbrush (as the clasp),
Dental picks, Mint Dental Floss
Gum (teaberry, blackjack and beecham)
Old strand of Pearls (pearly whites)
A Little Rubber Butt (molded from a doll and painted with Halo Rose Pink)
Teeth supplied by Martha (Dentures)
and, lastly,
Dental Partials (found by Jill at an Estate Sale, we could not find the full set that I wanted).In chewing gum for this project, I chipped off a corner of one of my teeth, truly bonding me to the piece, and it is of course included.
No humans nor animals were harmed in the collection of teeth and partials.
Please note that the toothbrush is new, and the teeth and partials were soaked overnight in bleach. I did not want them to be germy.
