Oh tooth
forsooth
you left me in my youth
of your betrayal there is proof

It's not so hard to find
It's there in the not-there kind
(It's not as if I really mind)
But your lack of existence is hard to miss

And so with a gap
A child-like toothless smile
I turn to you and haply yap
"You should have stayed a while"

Oh what fun we would have had
Eating and biting things
I didn't treat you all that bad
Until the accident that I had

And out you came
Almost gleefully
Escaping my gummy prison
Far too easily

And now I have this plastic fake
In the act of consumption
It is unable to partake
Out of my mouth it I must take.

It is not for aesthetic beauty alone
But to ensure my gap sticks around
And although I do like to moan
A better party trick I have not found

:P
