Reflections Dental
By: Philis McGinley

How beautiful, how fine
Do teeth on television shine!
No flutist flutes, no dancer twirls
But comes equipped with matching pearls.
Gleeful announcers all are born
With sets like rows of hybrid corn.
Clowns, crititcs, clergy, commentators,
Ventrilloquists and roller skaters,
M.C.'s who beat their palms together,
The girl who diagrams the weather,
The crooner crooning for his supper ---
All flash white treasures, lower and upper.
With miles of smiles the airwaves teem
and each an orthodontist's dream.

'Twould please my eye as gold as a miser's ---
One charmer with uncapped incisors.
