Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 A Pocket Full of Teeth


I left my dentist wearing my

New set of dentures which then had

Felt fine but now, I don't know why,

Are shaking 'round in my mouth bad.

Frustrated, I pull the teeth out,

And stick them in my pocket, while

Back to the dentist, and no doubt

This was a reason not to smile.

I reached into my pocket and

No pocket full of teeth be found.

Sadly, then I did understand

To a toothless time I be bound.


A pick pocket picked my teeth from

My pocket, now I have to gum.
