But Which Jaw Drops - the Upper? Or the Lower? - errant nonsense

But Which Jaw Drops – the Upper? Or the Lower?

 

An advert assures us its product is jaw-dropping

If true, this loss of body parts would be painful

And which part of the purchaser’s jaw drops?

The upper jaw? The lower jaw? The set?

 

Given our recent experience with Nile.com

We can’t be sure of both jaws for one price

The advertisement might be for a set of jaws

But the small print says you have to pay extra

 

For a complete jaw-jaw

 

As a dime-store guru from the 60s might ask

What is the sound of one jaw dropping?

Dropping

Dropping

Dropping

(Clunk!)
