"Dreaming" is the impression of
Teeth bitten
Merely halfway...

"Doing" is the emphatic chomping through,
And the vicious grinding of
Enamel,
The plaque that packs
My numerous gaps,
For I was reluctant to
Utilize my minty floss;
The cavities, root canals, and
Golden Crowns,
And the exposure of
Sensitive nerves
That makes me really regret
That I didn't get that dental plan!
