Disappointing Day
It
was just after Easter
When
I continued a bad habit
Of feasting head first
on a dark chocolate rabbit,
Of feasting head first
on a dark chocolate rabbit,
Which
bit me right back
on my upper right gum
on my upper right gum
A
tooth sheared in two
leaving me uncomfortably numb.
The mouthful melted...leaving nothing at all,
leaving me uncomfortably numb.
The mouthful melted...leaving nothing at all,
My
imagination induced panic,
where did the rest fall?
where did the rest fall?
My
tongue probed
the scene of the gore,
the scene of the gore,
Where
a remnant swung
like a saloon bar door.
like a saloon bar door.
I
moved to the mirror
whilst trying not to knock it
whilst trying not to knock it
Dreading
the pounds that
would be leaving my pocket.
would be leaving my pocket.
Driven
to the dentist
by my long-suffering wife,
by my long-suffering wife,
The
stalactite was removed
without too much strife.
without too much strife.
My
mood remained
like the pain so sore,
like the pain so sore,
As dinner
became soup
at the local store.
at the local store.
