Everything was hunky-dory
when I had thirty-two,
but now it's a different story:
all that remains is two.
Eight of them were incisors
for easily cutting food;
were as sharp as razors,
their efficiency was good.
Canines, premolars, molars,
were parts of the crown
which soon changed colours
from pearly white to brown.
It wasn't just a misadventure
that caused such decay.
Poor hygiene made a denture
necessary without delay.
My dentist's earnest advice
is that I get implants
but when I hear the price
I explode with angry rants.
