Mrs. Worthington's Mincemeat

The judges were effusive:

Such a sublime melding!

Brandy,

raisins,

citrus,

and beef!

And then the last judge

bit down on a tooth,

Resulting in disqualification

For the unsanitary use of Mr. W.


Prompt: 33 words using the word tooth.  For the record, I dislike mincemeat.

    Well, looking on the bright side, probably just as well it wasn't a toenail :))

    Really enjoyed this! Poor Mr. Worthington :))

    If only she had been more careful with the parts she added to the mix, she could have won that prize! ;-)

    I never cared for mincemeat at all...and apparently with good reason! This is a hoot.

      Thanks! My dad loves mincemeat, but he is the only one in the family, and is regularly outvoted!
