Today is my last day with all of my teeth. Tomorrow Dr. Daniel Riley will be nice enough to put me under and pull out all my wisdom teeth. =( So I dedicate today’s post to my wisdom teeth. I say good bye to you, for I now hold enough wisdom within myself to no longer need you. I found this little poem which I modified a bit to apply to me:
Dracula and bugs bunny,
Make big old teeth seem funny,
But they really do get in the way,
I wish tooth fairy’d take my spares away.
I feel like a puffa fish,
Granted is my boyfriend’s wish,
For it really hurts to talk,
I wouldn’t dare let out a squawk.
Soon I get the special treatment,
Leading to my smile’s completement,
Neon mouthwash and “open wide”,
As a one foot needle goes inside.
“Ouch! why did you bite me?
Don’t you know you can’t fight me”
I leap out of the reclining chair,
And make a dash for the stairs.
My dentist chases me with a giant brush,
” You’ll never have another sugar rush,
I’ll get you with my spearmint paste!”
He says as I run in panicked haste.
I wake up in a cold sweat,
Even my puffy cheeks are wet,
I look at my clock feeling unamused,
In twelve hours I’ll have my teeth removed.
xoxo,
Sophie Cruz
