Trust No One
Get to the dentist,
you have nothing to lose,
just a few teeth,
and the ability to chew.
The lady in the mask,
poking your molars,
has studied dentistry,
for millions of hours.
Trust her, listen,
she says quite loudly:
‘You’re eating less sweets’,
and your Mum beams proudly..
Ugh..
..Mum exposes her dentures,
teeth she keeps in a glass,
next to the bed,
along with other spare parts:
(You can trust your parents
to let you down,
their teeth are terrible,
some are grey-brown.)
Mum smiles wide,
the dentist spots the mush,
breakfast leftovers,
which Mum failed to brush.
