Dental, oral and facial limericks of yesterday and today.

The limerick is a popular form of light and poetic verse which was originally recited and sung in the local inns and taverns of Ireland and England. It may be anecdotal, nonsensical and/or ribald in nature. As a form of satire, it confronts society's "sacred cows" and/or foibles. During the mid-1800s, Edward Lear popularized this mode of expression in England. From there it spread throughout the entire world. By 1900, two branches of limerick writing were formed--the decent and the "smutty." In reviewing 7,000 traditional limericks, the authors have located about 50 significant dental, oral and/or facial limericks which are socially acceptable. In addition, we have produced 50 original poems of this nature. This article offers 33 traditional and new limerick "gems" for your reading pleasure.
