Something Has Been Eating Me! ..... [i'Ll Let This Be A Surprise Poem; Personal]
This year I have turned 65?
Apparently I’m still alive.
But today will spell the last....
of much to which I’ve held fast.
As a kid I enjoyed each sweet treat,
and getting older I still did eat......
pies, and cookies, and also cakes,
but LESS CANDY, for goodness sakes.
I lost two close friends.....
when breakdowns caused their ends.
Where they were is now hollow;
I swore I would not, them, follow!
I now still eat some sweets,
but more so fruits and meats,
AND vegetables galore.
I’d like to chew some more.
Did I mention my “grinding” past?
Today it’s ME who’ll be ground at last.
Before long, what’s left of me will wear a crown,
but NOT due to any great renown.
Something’s been eating ME.*
AND today the grinding’s NOT for free.
[Good thing for good dental insurance.
And I bet that “Bri” is in concurrence.]

* refers to tooth decay. get it now? i actually forgot, in the two months since writing this, that the 'narrator' was one of my molars. i started to make some changes to the poem, which seemed appropriate, until i realized my error in thinking that i, bri, was the narrator. i put? after 65, because how would a tooth know how old it is. i'm not even sure how old it is. :) still smiling and chewing.
Dentists...shudder...and that's usually because of the cost. Well penned, very clever and very much enjoyed
As always your quirky way of looking at things entertains and amazes well done I hope all is well now toothwise
