Emoji prompt poem 🃏🤲🦷👻🐙

The joker, I passed it to you

Before my dentures fell into the loo

Great grandma’s ghost passed them back

My life’s back on track

Except for the octopus poo

*Loosely based on a story told to me by a past professor. While in the outhouse his dentures somehow somersaulted their way from between his lips and into the toilet. A friend held his legs while he shimmied down to retrieve them from the horrific excrement below. That is dedication. Or frugality. Or insanity?
