You ought to get silly more often because this poem is great. There is lots of humor from beginning to end.
And so many clever rhymes.
I'll be looking for more like this.

thanks, Barb. I sometimes forget when dialogue goes from paragraph to paragraph, whether it's quotes or not.
not a true story. most of my stuff isn't.
thanks for the neat review.

Nice to start the day with a little bit of humor. What a dilemma for a lawyer. Instead of sounding like Gloria Aldred, she's sounding like Tweetie Bird. It was good to include the dialogue so we can hear her speak, and that definitely adds to the humor. I see that this is for a rhyming poetry contest, and you did a great job with the rhyme. You get off to a good start by describing the braces and the effect they have. A great happy ending that the braces are coming off soon. I've seen on TV ads for braces that don't look so intrusive. Great work, and good luck. judi

Hilarious! My brother was a lawyer and he would have appreciated this, I think! I was in for a surprise when I opened this post for I had imagined from your title that you were talking about the kind of braces used to hold up trousers. I guess that in that respect, a lawyer should wear braces, and a belt too for that matter! LOL

aha! I hadn't thought of those, but did think of the kinds on legs for support.
I have been gone for a while due to death of computer. Now have a sassy little laptop I can put on kitchen counter and write and cook simultaneously.
Thanks for reading my silly poem. Hope all is well with you.

This is a fun write with great rhymes and an unusual subject and it made me laugh, your word being clear and concise in certain jobs is pertinent to the job! Good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

Thanks, Dolly for your great review.
It's good to be back on FS. Was gone for a while due to death of computer. Now have a new laptop which I'm still learning. Somehow I keep erasing stuff I've written and writing in the middle of a sentence above. crazy.

I?m glad it was only the computer that died! He he he, love Dolly x

This is a very silly poem, but perfectly rhymed. I think a lawyer or at least I would agree, should not have braces, as they are almost offensively to hear and see. Well, when you are a young kid growing up they a natural almost, but to a big grown up adult it does seem a bit strange. However to be fair, anyone who feels they need braces to fix their teeth should do just that and be prepared for staring and comments of all kinds of this and that. :) I very much enjoyed the poem. Good Luck and Best Wishes in the Contest! Sherman541

I loved this! Where ya bin? Great picture. I knew a pastor's daughter years ago had one of these brace setups with a metal ring right around her head to hold the brace in place. Sigh! Thanks for the laugh!

Hahaha! Love your humor, Katharine! So glad to see your post again! I like the situation that you set up that already prepares us for something funny. We have seen more older adults doing this. Odd phenomenon.
