Robert Pettit Poet Light Verse

I Should Have Avoided the Candy

I should have avoided the candy 
while it was conveniently handy. 
If I had the power to abstain, 
I would not be experiencing this pain. 
I have a toothache while I live. 
Seeing the dentist is the only alternative.

Inspired by another member's poem.

Thank goodness for Dentist's though, to save your teeth! They have saved mine many times now! This is a wondrous write my friend, fantastic piece, Great Work!!
