55 - Un-wisdom Teeth

They read the instructions
in the DNA,
then decided
to toss them away.

"We're rebels, iconoclasts,
we do as we please.
Grow vertically?
Don't be a tease."

They grew horizontally
(thought they were clever)
but found themselves
in a different endeavor.
Painful extraction
is what fate bequeathed,
for that is what happens
to un-wisdom teeth.




















I'm almost 100% after my foot injury, and now this. When it rains, it pours, right?

Have you got a story that can be told in exactly 55 words? Let the G-Man know!

Hugs.

When I had my wisdom teeth extracted, everyone in the office thought my husband had beaten me. Even the people who handled the insurance claims.

I am sure there are some very nice dentists...somewhere. But clearly at my age they are clearly still in hiding.
