Schematic representation of the Permanent Teeth
It was midnight and wickedly dark
With not a sign of light,
When suddenly, were voices heard?
From people dressed in white.
“Hey you Mr. Incisor, are too ‘straightforward’
You ought to check your advance
Might is intimidating, beauty is wile!
Your fragility effects a vulnerable stance”
“You might be thicker with more legs than I”,
Snapped Incisor to Molar in reply
Some place abysmal are fittingly concealed
Your stout bod and limbs wry”
“My elegance complements my dainty make
And with my siblings I lead the set
‘The first impression’, that’s what I make
While you crave attention, you cuss, you fret”
The furious Molar gritted disgustedly
Seeking support from others of its kind,
“I’m rightly entitled ‘the Wisdom tooth’Appears at 17-21 years of age. Hence, the name!
I chew the food, I crush, I grind”
“Ahoy”, articulated the commanding Cuspid
“You two are inefficient without a tine,
The most skilful, strong and stunning
Is none other than me, Canine”
“I have the power to tear up flesh
I need no brother, I stand alone
I trust my long leg and perfect spot
That enthrones me the Cornerstone”
“You’re mistaken”, interjected Premolar
“Your prong makes for a fearful view!
I, unlike all you replaceable teeth,
Supplant none, I’m fresh, I’m new”
“I’m safe in situ, ‘tween Canine and Molar
I’m known to crush the food with grace
Strength and charm, are both my assets
I elevate aesthetics of the face”
Friction intensified amongst the teeth,
A verbal combat, to be the boss!
Hostility and intolerant views
Turbulence, anarchy, extreme chaos
Panic! The battlefield lit up unannounced
The teeth stood frozen awhile
As lips parted, the dentist spoke
“Sound dentition warrants a million dollar smile”
Overwhelming emotions ran amid the disputants
As they agreed to end the verbal bout
Aesthetic crowns and vital roots
Are indispensable for a healthy mouth!
