To Brush, or Not to Brush, That is the Question!

My pain is in the dark, I cannot see its rot, Yet know it festers Around each tender nerve. My lips they try to hide--- An unclean hole inside, Yet Winter's wind has found it It's root so quick to flick. I have resigned the tool For blood it makes me drool, Not want or need to lick. So viscious a circle carries on As if it were my foe, Is dental care an affliction now? My teeth they ought to know.

Dentists are scary people.
How do THEY know so much about MY teeth, that's what I'd like to know.

I concur, and yet on this very day I will subject myself to the CHAIR. With any luck at all, I'll be able to write an Ode to Vicadin upon my return.

Where's the motion? Is there some other excuse for inflicting these dreadful images and this poor grammar upon us other than your routine root canal?
