Gremlin Grim Fairy

Gremlins are in my tooth today Chipping it out causing decay. The ache is getting much more worse My bottom tooth hurts where they lurk. Can hear those critters laugh and play Jaw and neck aches more everyday. Strong painkillers don't help ease it away The gremlins deeper digging is well under way. They channel a tunnel toward the root These tiny things are merciless brutes. The gremlin grim fairy waits nearby I'm on the verge of wanting to cry. The gremlins spread their infectious rot Taking over with their uninvited squat. A visit to the dentist is my only hope If it goes on much longer I shan't cope. Sitting back in his chair he shines a light They screamed I swear, it serves them right. Antibiotics is the first course of action And told I won't need a tooth extraction. I am relieved and happy, maybe a little smug I can beat these gremlins teeth robbing bugs. Drilling and a filling was done a week later I'm grateful and thankful to my tooth saving saviour. 20.10.23
