Toothlessness
“Toothlessness arrives in glory at the birth of an infant. Shortly after, the ,Tooth Brigade takes charge; in no time, Toothlessness rises from the ashes fighting ‘tooth-and-nail’ to take back his rightful territory.
In its hayday, Toothyness wears ivory robrs, gradually changing into yellow tones; adding silver and gold accessories
During the battle, pain is part of the ordeal.
Which often involves a professional trained to use instruments of torture.”
Kinda dopey … I know.
But, how I dislike dental appointments.
I tell him as the needle is about to do its job, “Please give me as much novacaine as legally allowed.”
After that part of the pain is completed,the second session of pain begins.
That which involves a credit card.
After venting to friends, one said, “If your car needed repair, you wouldn’t hesitate to get it fixed.”
Yeah, that’s common sense.
But I’d rather spend my money on cute shoes!


Mom, you have such an imagination! I love this poem--I feel the pain and...I laughed out loud at your final line of your message today. You're awesome. Enjoy this new era of Toothy/Toothless-ness.
