You must have scared or hit him.
"No, grandpa, I was trying
If your false teeth would fit him."

    I skim these to see what category to put them in as I post them (or have been posting them) and I laughed when I read this. This is something I'd do, actually if the opportunity ever arose and I didn't do it people would wonder if I were okay.

    This is funny, as a lot of his short pieces, whether they are for children or adults. A good piece that Tabb has written here.
