Oh wisdom teeth, why do you hate me so much? What have I ever done to you? It is thanks to you That my life has turned topsy-turvy You should never have been born For all you do, is cause pain Metaphorical as well as literal It was ten years ago When I was first advised by a dentist To finish you off I let it slide at that time And decided to give you a chance Four years later I was given the same suggestion By another dentist That too in a different city Yet again, I decided to spare you And four more years later History repeated itself Thus, you turned out to be luckier Than a cat with nine lives But you never made use of all that luck, did you? On the other hand You had the nerve To bite the hand That has been feeding you for so long Thus, I had no choice But to send you back to your Maker Where you truly belong Of course, you wouldn't surrender without a fight The anesthetic injection was painful enough But little did I expect That you would continue to haunt me Even after you were gone For good I had to take painkiller after painkiller And even that was not enough For monsters like you Who made sure That every meal was an ordeal by fire And so was every phone conversation Oh wisdom teeth, why do you hate me so much?
