Throughout my body it moves
Pain intensifies

He went to see Doctor Jake
To have it come out man was willing
He was glad there was no bad drilling....

A Pirate queen on the Dixie Queen 
Had a toothache truly bad and mean 
They docked for a day 
In Pelican Bay 
Sorry choppers now happy and clean...

There lived a man named Mcavity
Who had a bad aching cavity

He fell from outer space
In a pool on his face

And it was gone thanks to gravity!...

Toothache in heel and poke in his eye.
Old Man J. Rivers is waiting to die.
I know the source
Lies like a horse
I know this rumor will die, bye and bye....

As I turned to swallow the bolus
I had been chewing all long
with all the contents sandwiched
Between my toothless Jews long
I succumbed to a real toothache...

Went to the park for a picnic today
Found one open and began to sashay
Flipped my flipper
Zipped my zipper
Such freedom is better than a toothache...

One night Mr. Toothpick had a toothache
Unable to find a painkiller, he  kept awake
Mr. Toothpick kept groaning
Mrs. Toothpick slept moaning
Both of them thought each other to be fake.

Nothing is worse than a toothache
Especially when the tooth is no longer there,
Having been extracted with great care
Six days ago, and I still feel the quake.

Listen to poem:

Your absence hurts me,
Like a persistent toothache
Or a pair of too-tight shoes.
But, worse, your hard face,
When finally we meet,
Leaves me panicked, gasping:
A doomed and thrashing swimmer,
Drowning in your indifference....

to be called a romantic
is something i just 
can't take.

but your faint smile has kept
all my nights wide 
awake.

i float still in a stunned state.
this idiocy i can't 
forsake.

your absence torments me so
like a raging 
toothache!...

I should have avoided the candy 
while it was conveniently handy. 
If I had the power to abstain, 
I would not be experiencing this pain. 
I have a toothache while I live. 
Seeing the dentist is the only alternative.

Inspired by another member's poem....

PAINKILLERS

today I had toothache
it was bad… nerve
gnawing bad
I took a painkiller
never take them and
now I wonder why
I never had

it feels numb
I feel relieved
and deceived

tomorrow
it will
be back

This raging toothache is driving me quite mad
I phone the dentist, in such terrible pain
Bad tooth must be extracted by the roots
They have a free space at two thirty
‘Tooth hurty’  - I laugh at the appointment time!

Oh, so you never had one?
Bravo, you lucky devil you!

I surmise you're far from
A sweet tooth? Haha.

At it's worse, even Hercules
Is crying for his Mommy!

Paul Begala called Obama's supporters eggheads and that wasn't nice.
I want him to keep his mouth shut and I don't want to have to say it twice.
Obama is a terrific person and he deserves our votes.
The words irritate me that came from Begala's throat.
His words annoy me like a toothache.
Mister Begala can go jump in the lake....

Take a spoon and stir the air
  What pollutants do you find there

Your fence is rotting, pull out a stake
  Now it's got a huge toothache

Pull down a rake and comb your lawn
  Which side is the part on

In your sidewalk, count the cracks
  Step in one, get dog-doo back

Climb your steps and ring the bell
  It's out-of-order, what the hell...

To be called a romantic is something I just can't take,

             but the faint hint of your smile has kept my nights wide awake;

                                                      I float, I wait

                                                 in a stunned state;

                now your absence torments me so like a raging toothache!...

Tortures the nerve constantly 
Ongoing severe painful throb
Only abstraction is the cure
This pain is worse than labor pain
Horrendous sharp electric shocks,
And advil is just a temporary fix
Can't sleep at all
Hurt all night long
Eating food is not an option

As sweet as the coffee with sugar, creamer and milk
Words from the mouth are said
As the well-sweetened coffee is soothing to the taste buds
Words are nice to the ears
And heartwarming to the heart
But too much sweetener will cause toothache
And too much praises may block the melodies of life from the nature
Too much complement may make one proud and lazy...

He had a toothache to see the Dentist about.

The Dentist said that tooth must come out.

        Choose a needle or gas

        But the man said alas

I choose neither he said with a shout.


The Dentist said will a Viagra pill do?

The man said is that something new?

       I'll tell you the truth

       when I pull that tooth

I'm gonna need a place to hang on to!...

The ginger root
My grandma hung
Hung in the kitchen
For everyone to see
A headache or a tummy ache
If anyone would suffer
The ginger root
Was brought down
For ailments simple and severe
A strong tea for the headache
A weak one for the stomach
A gargle for the toothache
A pouch for minor burns
Though most of the times you know
The thought of drinking
The insipid liquid
Would make all well...

Alone in the night


During the night I had no angst 
but my teeth hurt and sleep had gone truant
Time is relative the clock on the stand 
appeared to have stopped checking the time
in the living room, it was 2 minutes faster.
Four in the morning too late for a glass of wine
not a common drunk, got nothing to hide.
When awake the toothache had gone for now
it was overcast nine o`clock and gloomy...
