I WISH I'D LOOKED AFTER MY TEETH
by Pam Ayres

Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth,
And spotted the perils beneath,
All the toffees I chewed,
And the sweet sticky food,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.

I wish I'd been that much more willin'
When I had more tooth there than fillin'
To pass up gobstoppers,
From respect to me choppers
And to buy something else with me shillin'.

When I think of the lollies I licked,
And the liquorice allsorts I picked,
Sherbet dabs, big and little,
All that hard peanut brittle,
My conscience gets horribly pricked.

My Mother, she told me no end,
"If you got a tooth, you got a friend"
I was young then, and careless,
My toothbrush was hairless,
I never had much time to spend.

Oh I showed them the toothpaste all right,
I flashed it about late at night,
But up-and-down brushin'
And pokin' and fussin'
Didn't seem worth the time... I could bite!

If I'd known I was paving the way,
To cavities, caps and decay,
The murder of fiIlin's
Injections and drillin's
I'd have thrown all me sherbet away.

So I lay in the old dentist's chair,
And I gaze up his nose in despair,
And his drill it do whine,
In these molars of mine,
"Two amalgum," he'll say, "for in there."

How I laughed at my Mother's false teeth,
As they foamed in the waters beneath,
But now comes the reckonin'
It's me they are beckonin'
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.

I always liked poetry and i see that you are great at it i will soon creat my own poem

We Are Apart Now

It's not easy to be apart

But you made me some how.

I cried a lot for some days - waiting.

Maybe you were too loud

Having trouble with some of your ways

But you screamed and pushed me so hard

I am sure you forgot me - no need to ask God.

We are apart now - you should be glad.

The way you threw me off - I was so helpless

Whether or not it was my fault

I do not want to face you - ever.

I fold my knees and beg my God

Not to remind me of what I just forgot.

It teases my heart and makes my soul weak.

I close my eyes with stress

And open with a liquid leak.

You did what you want now

Do not hurt me deep - again.

A question and a reply


Somehow, somewhere is some light
Who ask from every coming person
Where is that unknown stranger?
Where is that upset poet?



See Deep in your heart
You will see that unknown stranger
Then try to call that stranger
The stranger will shake hand with you
Then you might get that stranger forever
Or you might get the stranger never
At first you will find him stranger
Then you will find him you own
Try your best, never lose hope
One day will come after all
Then that stranger will be far from you sight
But will b close in you heart

My memory of you is like a broken glass,
The pieces are scattered everywhere.
As the years go by, I find a piece
and cheish that treasure of yours
until I find another one.
