Tongue In Cheek-The Grind

Tongue in cheek - Tongue-in-cheek describes an exaggerated facial gesture — pushing a cheek out with one's tongue — meant to convey contempt or irony. (defined by vocabulary.com)

Tongue in Cheek-The Grind

the grind, prefer dark;
shifting teeth do not agree -
the worst habit, under moon.

squeeze a tube of paste.
superglue the parts to each -
only metaphorically.
