All those years
I underwent
orthodontic care for naught
cuz profound gum recession
and bone dissolution found me fraught
with angst riddled necessity
whence dentures bought
or will soon bring relief,
where financial cost to me = aught.

though grievous o'er a diet
of baby food -
rubs me raw bibbed bill bit
Subject: query now answered -
with true grit
state 'o me health of body,
mind and spirit
yea...yea...with following
poe whet tics git writ.
Re: cap ma current day
coup page with collage
of words that attempt
to convey how I felt
after a half dozen teeth removed,
that day of departure
fur remaining lower teeth transpired
with sore gums as testament
to grinning and bearing
final surrender of bottom choppers.

twas not with glee this bro
did accept fate,
now twitters like a black crow
adjusting new parabolic learning curve
to talk, where speech akin
to blob of dough
being formless,
yet with gumption
to these extractions did flow
into mine psyche
(twinge of accursed displeasure), boot go
to the University of Pennsylvania
Dental School and a heave hoe
this scrivener and regular joe
find a silver lining ya know
removal of upper teeth from those
less than five centimeters be low
now a done deal for many weeks
i.e. aboot sixteen fortnights
finds me unable to reef er
to the skin of my teeth,
------------------------------------------
this circumstance doth suck n bite
though once dentures fitted,
thee psychological gloom
(per maxillofacial situation)
with relief insurance
picks up the tab will alight.

if ignored, the grim state
of vital accessories to chew
this chap likely
to experience additional
molars, cuspids, canines...
falling out though few
remained upon embarkation
per painful turn of events, grew
ling a smidgen less worse
than getting tossed out hoo

eskimo master of a royal igloo
while sarah n aid ding
howling winds
of n arctic monkey shape shifting
into polar vortex imp pale
me in deleterious state
of health thru and thru.

other than the above
matthew scott harris feels great
well.... on the bright side -
no need to brush nor floss,
when mouth opened ajar -
bing temporarily toothless -
aye will hate,
hence inclined to master
art of ventriloquism
hoop fully finding work around
to avoid beak comb ming irate.
