Gleaming Secrets: The ‘Turkey Teeth’ Phenomenon

By No Comments1 min read

turkey teeth

the term used to be beautiful people,
but i keep hearing turkey teeth.

sat at my mother’s house bemused,
hey – i called out to my niece.

what do you mean by turkey teeth?
my nephew looked up

from his cellular & laughed.
she pronounced – o-m-g – then smiled:

people fly to Turkey uncle,
veneers are a fraction of the cost

then strut back to England,
teeth whiter than frost –
