I kick it root down

6:20 this morning

I woke from my snoring

to get myself ready

and hold myself steady.

A 7:00 a.m. cleaning, poking

and scraping, drilling and

chipping following by some

gaping tooth hole filling.

A root canal was the need

for what made my gums bleed.

It sounds wicked and painful but

I’ve had worse and more baneful.

So now I sit in my cube tasting

the foul cement, hating

the bitterness and hoping I can eat.

And that would be… a dream feat.

Now I will digress from this lame poetry,

Writing about dental work is beneath me.

-          Wow, that took me half an hour to scribble out. And it’s terrible. But I hope you enjoy it to some degree my dear reader.

Yes I did have a root canal this morning and it really wasn’t all that bad. I have a great dentist and I’m super happy we got this little problem taken care of. It was my last left sided molar and apparently I need it to mash my food up into swallow size.

I can’t stress it enough; take care of your teeth.

The Fourth of July is being celebrated this weekend and most of my office will be closed tomorrow, unfortunately I will have to be in the office. So I’ll have more on the Fourth tomorrow. Aren’t you excited by that? I hope so.
