Extraction

 
The rot has got to go,
Yet the truth is I’m attached to the tooth,
But the pain is too much to bear,
I swear, I kind of don’t want to let go.
I know there is a smell,
My swollen gums tell me so,
But the molar is already half broken off,
It’s just a sharp little sliver.
The doctor recommended the extraction,
For the tooth cannot be saved,
So I grieve there quietly,
Or else the infection may spread.
I’m a sentimental,
But I agree to part with it,
At the end of all the dental work,
The extraction will be the last.
After the needle and the slicing,
After digging and digging in my mouth,
I feel the root when it’s being removed,
I feel the memories of past meals part.
And there it was, the root and sliver,
Still intact with an attached afterbirth,
With pus and blood it quivered,
I said goodbye to my molar.

I have a question , Ash...

In any Competition here , what time frame are we using to determine

"Under The Mark" ?

For instance , here where I am , it is 3:30 pm , on the 29th...

What time does that equal as to competitions deadlines ?

Thanks !

Under the mark for this one would be 3:07pm on April 30th in the central time zone of the United States. Does that help narrow it down for you, Blackwolf? I'm not sure when that is where you are though.

The time will vary depending on the time of day the comp was posted, and the date will vary based on the length of time it's set to run. But for this one...there you have it!

Congratulations, Blackwolf, on a deserving win! I loved the voicing and giggled my butt off. Thank you for going the extra step with that!

David_Mcleod and case28, you both brought much mirth to my day with your entries. If I could have done it, you would have trophies too.

This wasn't an easy comp to judge and I had to enlist a couple helpers to finish it. So many fun entries to choose from. Many thanks to everyone for being a sport and playing along!

That is very kind , David...

I have seen enough of your work , to see your versatility...

To go from a powerful warrior spirit , speaking needed truth ,

to the softness of a soul , that wants and does touch the soul

of the child within each of us...and that is talent !

So with that in my mind and heart , I am most honored by your compliment !
