Long in the tooth
Why is it like this.
The man held aloft a new denture,
The spoils of his adventure,
In the room underneath,
Was a man without teeth,
In the old peoples home of dementia.

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.

Ugh. I remember reaching into a cupboard at high level once when cleaning out a relative's house and discovering a set of false teeth. Not the nicest surprise! Loved your limerick!
Loved this humorous take! Looking forward to more writing from you
😂 I feel like I shouldn't have laughed, but this is funny!
