6. An elderly man named Keith, Mislaid his set of false teeth. They'd been laid on a chair, He'd forgot they were there, Sat down, and was bitten beneath.

1. I'd rather have fingers than toes, I'd rather have ears than a nose. And as for my hair, I'm glad it's all there, I'll be awfully sa(i)d when it goes.
