When you know where they have been,
What I forced them to eat today
Really was obscene.

Old wolves on the mountaintop

To no longer wear false teeth
So she eats soft food
Like beans and stew
Much less meat in her cheeks

Make you sing,

TEETH

His teeth were pretty and white
That they were almost pearly white
After eating, they start to change
To two different colors, that was strange

who always acted arrogant and stuffy

False Teeth

There once was an old woman from Madrid
Husband disapproved everything she did
Cereal's too cold
Meat's too old
One day in anger his false teeth she hid

No greater shadow than ferns teeth
Sheltering the infant saplings underneath,
The same soil where strangling vines sleep
What the forest grows, also reaps

They always come out at night

Comfort and a restful sleep
Clean as a whistle next day

Teeth

life is full of waiting

waiting for moments to begin
waiting for moments to end

waiting in the mouth of the beast
growing accustomed to its teeth
and fearing the belly

My Teeth Itch

When you kiss me
Like you love me
It makes my teeth itch
Palms rattle with the force
Of a hurricane
In your childhood room
Shoelaces knotted
Like a noose
Around my brain.

Gritted Teeth

Whizzing round the bend
gritted teeth,
Nearly met my end.
