Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

My Daily Bread

Today’s bread was Veterans Day donuts,
after I skipped like a kid through the parking lot
to visit the rebuilt library. Oh the places
we will go, to quote some doctor or such.
I have to pick and shine my teeth;
my bridge built and ready to install.
Ready, set, go. There is no NO.

My daily bread will be chewed on both sides.
I can’t wait! Do I like to sit in the dentist chair?
To get better I must and my balance muscles
also muster to therapy after kicking the habit
of the aircast boot. Wing-a-ding-ding, as
my friend Jack might say. I miss hearing from him -
hope he is okay. Would like to hear his hip-hip-hooray.

Valsa George November 14, 2024 at 7:52 PM Visiting the dentist is a scary experience. After a certain age, it becomes frequent. Getting the bridge fixed is a happy experience, but the procedures before it are indeed taxing. Wish you dear Kim, happy chewing! Enjoyed your light hearted poem. Kim Rodrigues November 15, 2024 at 5:07 AM Thank you, Valsa! So far it is worth it! Use those choppers ;) Hugs ~ Kim

Yann Rolland November 14, 2024 at 3:46 AM we need a lot of encouragement for visiting the dentist, always frightening and scary, interesting poem very inspiring Kim Rodrigues November 15, 2024 at 5:05 AM I’ve been dealing with a missing tooth and discomfort of the jaw for about a year, chewing gum to compensate. Now I’m normal again and lol, not allowed to chew gum. Bless you, mon amie!

Michael Tor November 13, 2024 at 3:48 AM Kim I need some dental work but I am somewhat apprehensive. Dr Ricardo Delgado on Brighteon.com shared from Spain at the La Quinta University. That Pfizer the maker of Lidocaine a popular anesthetic was contaminated with the same ingredients found in the Vaccines. He had his Scientist and Virologist, and chemist examine this anesthetic and they found evidence of this material. I hope they stopped doing this. It went viral and the lying fact checks are saying its not true. They use all kinds Kim Rodrigues November 13, 2024 at 5:09 AM Wow, Mike! God sees! Scary medical profession. Michael Tor November 13, 2024 at 3:51 AM They use many kinds of anesthetics hopefully it wasn't this brand and probably they stopped doing that from all the information that's come forward for the sake of being sued. Check out Brighteon.com and Rumble type in his name. I always dread going to the dentist. Especially in these terrible times. God be with you and protect you...

Victor Buhagiar November 13, 2024 at 2:48 AM I dread going to the dentist. although the present one is quite good. (And now my grandson is first in class to become a dentist :)) My last dentist ruined me. He had only one solution. Remove the hurting tooth. Kim Rodrigues November 13, 2024 at 5:11 AM Yup, I had a tooth removed. Thought it would be fairly easy…boy was I wrong! Now I have a bridge. Okay thus far. Hugs

Paige Hind November 12, 2024 at 3:40 PM Oh, gosh, I hate going, LOL. I have had a toothache once so bad I was about to go through the roof, taking ibiprofin like candy, didn't even work....:/ all the best to you, I really understand Kim Rodrigues November 12, 2024 at 4:53 PM Hopefully this will do me for a while. Can’t complain, really!

Hilda Greenhough November 12, 2024 at 1:47 PM I dread loss of teeth. This is a very inspiring story. Someday, I'm going to the dentist. Kim Rodrigues November 12, 2024 at 4:54 PM I made it through so can you. Bless you, Hilda!
