The Tooth About Tooth

From the ancient time of Cane

The Tooth About Tooth

In the beginning there was tooth

One tooth and no other

Then about the time of Cane

According to the ancient text

Another tooth grew out of nothing

Similar to the chicken and the egg debate

but a different kind of debacle

Unsolved to this unholy day

About the mouth on the other side of it

Spoken but not said

Grew yet another tooth with teeth about

Destiny revealed three teeth in all

Called by name “teeth” from that day on

Until they fell out of favor

The tooth about tooth is true

I saw it with my own two eyes

One tooth left, one on the other left

A center tooth in the center... That's right

Call it what you will between each other

A story, a non tooth debate, a fake

There were other teeth about the mouth

Some were quite sharp, biting, even tiny

This tooth was about pain, an abscess

In need of pulling at the moment

With the absence of malice or malicious intent

Brought on by the ultimate sin of sugar indulgence

Decay came about but will not be tolerated

Tooth about tooth can be frightening too

Dentistry has come a long way these days

Given the ways of oral hygiene cleansing

Let us pray

By the intercession of angelic forces

Some teeth were saved

Let us pray

The one true tooth was doomed

Decay set in on the chosen root

Nothing is worse than a cavity

Holes in the head are not holy

Should not be empty or void

Children should not eat candy

Should not be consumed by truth

The tooth should be considered first

There was, is and always will be

One true tooth to suffer through

The mouth knows what is coming

About other teeth we can not vouch

But about the tooth about the center

It is the one tooth that must come out

Extraction!.... Ouch!

The time of Cane has long passed

Nova-Cane has come at last, Amen
