It is a horror to have a toothache with little recourse but to spend the rent money to fix it...

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…

::looking for my drill:: I cannot believe I am joking about the dentist. It is a good write and I can relate, the Dentist gives me more the creeps than hospitals do.

OUCH! I am sorry; I hope things improve for you! You are in my prayers, Eddie! PAINFUL write!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Inherent Chaos by Terry Vinson

The fortunate inherit riches, prestige, positive notoriety. Those not so lucky bear legacies filled with poverty, infamy or, worse yet, the unhinged insanity and murderous urges of their ancestors.
