Why does trouble always have to come in twos and threes? As it is, I am in Recruitment Which is itself a rollercoaster life Through the peaks and troughs of Hell For all my hard work I get a few scant rewards Which are like a few drops of water In the mighty Pacific Ocean And turn out to be as ephemeral As the life of a mayfly Just as I am dealing with all this My wisdom teeth decide to crash the party in style Bringing chaos and mass destruction From all sides The dentist takes one look at my mouth And confirms my worst fears The wretched wisdom teeth have to go There is no escaping it Moreover, it has to be a surgical extraction Why does trouble always have to come in twos and threes? On the D-Day My head is spinning madly My brain is on overdrive And I find concentrating on work more difficult Than even predicting the stock market However, to my pleasant surprise The surgeon is so calm and reassuring And the process is so smooth That is, apart from the pain induced by the anesthetic injection That I get a feeling as if all my troubles have ended However, I could not have been more wrong After a few hours The effects of the painkiller begin to wear off Slowly, but surely Eating food feels more awkward Than a conversation between a boy and a girl Who have just broken up And to cap it all Talking isn't exactly pain-free either I might've enjoyed a bit of rest today But come tomorrow, I need to get back to work Which involves a truckload of calls And as per the dentist I shouldn't talk too much However, as far as Recruitment is concerned There is no such thing as "too much" Why does trouble always have to come in twos and threes?

Why Does Trouble Always Have To Come In Twos And Threes?
Why does trouble always have to come in twos and threes? As it is, I am in Recruitment Which is itself a rollercoaster life Through the peaks and troughs of Hell For all my hard work I get a few scant rewards Which are like a few drops of water In the mighty Pacific Ocean And turn out to be as ephemeral As the life of a mayfly Just as I am dealing with all this My wisdom teeth decide to crash the party in style Bringing chaos and mass destruction From all sides The dentist takes one look at my mouth And confirms my worst fears The wretched wisdom teeth have to go There is no escaping it Moreover, it has to be a surgical extraction Why does trouble always have to come in twos and threes? On the D-Day My head is spinning madly My brain is on overdrive And I find concentrating on work more difficult Than even predicting the stock market However, to my pleasant surprise The surgeon is so calm and reassuring And the process is so smooth That is, apart from the pain induced by the anesthetic injection That I get a feeling as if all my troubles have ended However, I could not have been more wrong After a few hours The effects of the painkiller begin to wear off Slowly, but surely Eating food feels more awkward Than a conversation between a boy and a girl Who have just broken up And to cap it all Talking isn't exactly pain-free either I might've enjoyed a bit of rest today But come tomorrow, I need to get back to work Which involves a truckload of calls And as per the dentist I shouldn't talk too much However, as far as Recruitment is concerned There is no such thing as "too much" Why does trouble always have to come in twos and threes?

Tooth Wise - Haiku
The past few days have been full of pain As I lie down in bed again. When I open my mouth, it yells at me to shut it So I sigh and quit trying to fight it. I can’t eat or chew Without my jaw breaking too Can’t drink or sip, it seems Unless I want my gums to scream I can’t even function properly Everything I do, I end up doing sloppily Sometimes, I think of ripping my tooth out I already know I’ll be better off without This tooth, one of four that you don’t get at youth Oh, how I wish I could rid myself of this wisdom tooth.
