Bad Teeth

I have bad teeth

I have bad teeth
bad behaving teeth
that have tortured me
over the years

making the trip
to the dentist
an annual chore
that I want to avoid

just don’t want 
to hear
I need more fillings
another cavity
another tooth gone bad

as my teeth
laugh at me
mocking me
yet again
