To Live with Ease


There are so many small things that children hold dear,

whether it be a toy like a bear or a doll like lightyear.

As these children age, however, there are things that they cannot live without

and for me it is that which cleans my teeth of all grout.

A toothbrush to me, is like woody to buzz;

and without my pink plaque-scrubber, i'd be overwhelmed by tooth-fuzz.

For me, a toothbrush is the most necessary survival tool,

because what good is living if you can't bare the smell of your own drool.

It's the small things in life that would fill survival with ease,

and for me it's that which makes my mouth feel like a fresh morning breeze.
