Toothache …

Oh my god; does my mouth ache like hell,

On my left side, I don’t feel very at all well,

I have no money, can’t pay to have it fixed,

What shall I do, oh I hate pain, I do, I hate to dwell…

Cold on my cheek does not seem to help,

Cold on the inside works better, as weird as it sounds,

Tylenol works but takes so long; scare Rufuz I do, when I yelp,

The amount of this pain certainly knows no bounds…

Sorry to rant, sorry to cry, if I did what I really want, I could kill with no lie,

Seems I can focus and lose the pain for a very short time,

But not very long, it comes back in waves,

Hope the dentist accepts credit, or will give me some kind of break,

I hate to go but I have no choice, I have my rent money, guess that he will take…
