Toothache
He that sleeps feels not the tooth-ache
William Shakespeare
'Cymbeline' (1609-10) act 5, sc. 4, l. [176]
apparently, Mr. Shakespeare never needed a root canal!

Let Them Eat Candy
The toothaches do not last
But, the memories, they do,
Once Halloween had passed
And my childhood, too ...
But, the memories, they do
Remain with me still ...
And my childhood, too
I am sure always will
Remain with me still ...
The magic and the fun,
I am sure always will
When all is said and done
The magic and the fun
Can so

Keiths Toothache
His cheeks had bloomed up and over his chair
His mouth was extraordinarily large now, his face looked like a bear
Let me guess, toothache? I asked, recognizing the signs as my own.
His tongue was so swollen, he could not gasp, answer or phone.
I called up the dentist and made him an appointment for two.
I hate that

The Pains of Terrible Toothache
The harsh pains of terrible toothache
No human nor humanoid can fake.
The "oh!" are real, the "Ah!" and "Jeesus!,"
Caries of the Bad Tooth for scissors!
Sufferer's cheeks feel the agony;
Puffed up in pursuit of harmony:
So also the eyes above: quite scared,
For the bad much the teeth have been dared.
Sympathizers say "Avoid sugar."
I, Hindhu, who can't shun our

Toothache
Violate everything.
Upset all order.
re-stack the cards,
deal me to a world
where my id rules,
rid me of what cares
about right, wrong
or you.
Or it's gonna kill me.
I'm Ahab.
Says Stub,
"he's got what some folks ashore call *
a conscience; it's a kind of Tic-Dolly-row
they say--worse nor a toothache."
Way worse than a toothache.
Covers tangled,
pillows scrunched,

Toothache and Dentist
I have a such bad toothache
So a dentist I must see
Booked for tomorrow morning
I now have overwhelming anxiety
I am petrified to go to the dentist
It completely fills me with fear
No doubt in the morning
My anxiety will bring me to tears
I know I’m a big baby
And it’s an irrational fear
But positive thinking isn’t working
The negative

Santa Had a Toothache
Santa had a toothache, but who could he tell?
Was there a current dentist living down in the dell?
Rudolph figured out something was wrong and asked him what.
I don’t like to complain, Santa said, but…..
I have a toothache, and it’s not going away.
Rudolph took him to a veterinarian dentist that very day.
I have never seen such

A Toothache
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!

Toothache
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.

Toothache
I got an ache, I cannot tell a lie
This tooth ache kept me awake
For God sake, how I wish
This tooth will fall off and break
All my body does is crawl up and shake
This tooth ache is a headache
I feel like I am getting a migraine
All I think of is labor pain
This ache is

Toothache
`Toothache
The festering morsel
Festooned in buccal cavity
Triumphant against the crown
A queen in pearly finery
Whose decaying beauty
Succumbs to the invader
In eroded submission
With slow intrusive action
Eating at her very core
Its acidic weapon easing on
Enough to cause a frown
Now the pearly queen is ruptured
Her hardtop broken
And weakness exposed
It has the advantage
Its neural quest within sight
And

Toothache
Woe is me, woe is me
This toothache will be the end of me
Why must my tooth treat me like this?
Did I treat her too poorly?
I've done all I can to maintain this relationship;
Save for here and there when I was a kid
Woe is me, woe is me
This toothache will be the end of me
I

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

The Toothache
I wish that I had choked and died
On those chocolate candy bars.
I wish my mom had tanned my hide
About those tempting cookie jars.
I wish that I'd been tarred and feathered
For the dinners that I skipped
Because I preferred to gorge my taste
On Lays Potato Chips.
I'd like of course to quite forget
The delightful sweet 'life savers'
Which turned
