Notes About The Poem

The Tooth, the Hole Tooth, and Nothing But the Tooth

Chewing
                                             minty
                                              gum
                                                Is
                                      Recommended
                                      By  my  dentist
                                      make sure  you
                                      buy sugar  free
                                      It is better than
                                      eating    sugary 
                                      chocolate    and
                                      candies.   If you
                                      eat      sweeties
                                      and don't  brush
                                      you can get big
                                      caviti           e s
                                      which will  need
                                      to be         filled
                                                 so
                                                get
                                               busy
                                             chewing

Connie Marcum Wong August 10, 2018 at 4:36 PM I see were inspired to write a poem about your toothache Jan. A fun entry for this contest! I haven't been able to come up with anything for this one. I hope your tooth gets better and you don't have to have it pulled. xxoo : ) Jan Allison August 10, 2018 at 4:46 PM I wasn'tsure if I'd got the form correct. I just have a hole no pain which is lucky as I don't have an appointment until 21st:-) hugs Jan xx

Paul Callus August 10, 2018 at 9:18 AM People would do well to listen to your advice at an early stage, Jan; like that there would be no teething problems:) Hugs // paul Jan Allison August 10, 2018 at 9:21 AM I have seen youngsters with terribly bad teeth Paul... look a bit hypocritical as I have to have a filling replaced later this month lol:-) the worst pain will be the bill at the end:-( hugs Jan xx

Christopher Flaherty August 9, 2018 at 5:36 PM And makes sure you don't have loose fillings or they may come out as well . Like it Jan good luck in the contest. Wrote a poem called Black comedy makes light of war. Please will you read it and let me know what you think if I am on the right page. Cheers ta Jan Allison August 10, 2018 at 4:45 PM WE have an NHS dentist so its not too costly:-) hugs Jan xx Christopher Flaherty August 9, 2018 at 5:50 PM Do you have to pay on the I.O.M For Dentistry Jan ? You do here and you need the best part of a Mortgage to cover it if you actually need any work doing . Better of just gluing some chewies onto your gums Jan Allison August 9, 2018 at 5:45 PM I lost a filling at the weekend got to wait until 21st to get it dealt with:-) hugs Jan xx

Charles Messina August 9, 2018 at 9:02 AM The tooth be told! Love it, Jan! Best wishes for a win! Hugs // Charlie xx Jan Allison August 9, 2018 at 9:04 AM Thanks Charlie:-) hugs Jan xx

Roy Pett August 9, 2018 at 6:57 AM Brilliant Jan, I really like your poem and really like the title, I have attempted one for the first time for the contest and I’m not sure that I’ve got it right, wishing you luck in the contest. :)) Jan Allison August 9, 2018 at 7:12 AM It's my first attempt too Roy I am not au fait with it at all and hope I got it correct and its not deemed to be a 'concrete.:-) hugs Jan xx

Tom Cunningham August 8, 2018 at 10:21 PM Looking back it would have been better to have an apple instead of all those sugary sweets but then they didn't half taste nice. Chewy blackjacks comes to mind. Good luck Jan Jan Allison August 9, 2018 at 7:09 AM LOL @ blackjacks you have a good memory! Am waiting for a filling to be replaced can't get in until 21st Aug with other commitments:-( hugs jan xx
