Toothache

My curse upon your venom'd stang,
That shoots my tortur'd gums alang,
An' thro' my lug gies mony a twang,
Wi' gnawing vengeance,
Tearing my nerves wi' bitter pang,
Like racking engines!

Address to the Toothache (Robert Burns)


Ah me; it started last night and I didn't get much sleep. Seems that a filling I got last week has come out...... first appointment I could get was tomorrow morning...... I hope I can get some slelep tonight.

My other birthday flowers deserve to be displayed, so here they are!
