Toothless In Montclair

Toothless In Montclair

A tormented man who lives in Montclair
spends every day in a dentist’s chair
All the pulling and drilling—
Not to mention the billing!
He now brushes teeth that aren’t there.

I know this feeling, Robert. A creature of habit, I suppose.

Be true to your teeth and they won't be false to you! Thank you, Darlene, and you too have a nice day!

Must be like loosing a limb, they say you still think it’s there. Like the title!
