Ivory Whites

A little dental music please

Recline, relax with no fear

Open wide to peek, poke and freeze

Did you floss those in the rear?

 

 Teeth include our smile, bite and chew,

pearls of white which gleam and grind.

Care of each tooth from youth it’s true,

to brush in front and behind.

 

With stokes of hand we use toothpaste.

Some sweet snack heeds neglected,

“I’ll do it later”, said in haste.

Soon cavities detected.

                                  

Dental visits brings chills of drills,

needle stabs for Novocain.

Hefty tolls sum up dentist bills,

no full loss of frightful pain

 

Incisors, molars and yet more,

every grin and gnaw on bone

use choppers we try to restore.

False teeth are not like your own.

WOW!!!
This is just amazing. You have moved from the normal themes of poetry, and written about something different. And I just returned from my visit to the dentist a few minutes back lol. Great job, witty poem, well done! :)

Oh such a cute, witty write.. HaHaha!!!

I simply love it. We do tend to take our "Ivorys' for granted, so, brush and floss daily!!
Fun, fun write!!

Clever and witty...I love unexpected poems like this. I can honestly say this is one of the most original pieces I have seen on here. Thank you for sharing and making me bare my pearly whites....untarnished by cavities I might add... :)
