You’ve done your job
For many years
With very few complaints
You weren’t perfect
Grinding food
And sometimes tongue
Never drawing blood
But now you’re cracked
A jagged shard
Too broken for a mend
You have the weekend
To say good-bye
And enjoy a few more bites
For when Monday comes
You’ll have to go
A broken tooth retired
About Charles Yallowitz
Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

I think I’ll be fine, but his 3 brothers (quadruplets) are sad. Also, annoyed that they’ll have to pick up the extra work.

I was wondering how that turned out. Yuck. Hope your dentist has good laughing gas for ya.

Sounds like it might just be a shot of Novocaine. The real trick is going to be editing my book during the aftermath.
