Roots are of many kinds. They come in all shapes and sizes .'Famous book "Roots" and then there is a very popular Roots school in my land. Talking of land there are water ways and canals , mostly man made .These days there is so much water that it is getting out of control. At first there is none, I mean water, the weather gets hotter and hotter and then man starts praying for rain.
Rain comes, clouds thunder and volley, lightening strikes and the heavens open flooding every nook and corner. People drown children drown animals are swept away to their death. One cow was found dead on the rooftop of a three story building when the water receded. Oh I drifted away a bit, but no I think I am back to where I began, and then trees are uprooted, you see I am back to the roots, only this time I mean the roots of the trees.
Coming to the focus of my thoughts I will not argue with the readers that they have no experience of dental roots, because we all have teeth.
We humans are not born with these bony pieces but they come out later in the mouth, at times causing tremendous surprise and excitement and of course since the original sin, the sense of pain and affliction, we need "courage never to submit or yield"
"AH the first one has come" see I can feel it, and then "OUCH" comes a loud shout. This baby has sharp ones". The baby smiles and there is that little bit like a white arrow edge sticking out from the red massy wall of the tender gum.
It reminds me of Alexander Popes mock epic poem " Rape of The Lock"
The opening lines which I have written as such:
'What dire results from culinary causes spring
What miniature surgeries grind on bony things'
Teeth are used to grind and chew food, which is then lost in the cavities and moves on into the system to be dealt with by unseen governing agencies and eventually to be let out by the security arrangements.
Teeth in the upper jaw teeth in the lower
Teeth in front and teeth on the sides
Teeth to growl and show the power, Ah
What sweetness at times in the canines resides; Not for days but for months now one of the four Wisely Wisdoms was lying impacted and uneasy in its royal bed. The rooty chamber in chaos and exposed to the whips and scorns of tasteful morsels'
Think not that once a woman's baby tooth is fled'
That all the vanities, at once are dead'
As I bowed before the Almighty the pain shot through the neck and head.
OH my prayers are being attacked by the Terrorists , Evil is on the loose , Shoo Shoo!
What is crushing me so sharply?
If only the Devilish beings could be pushed away like this… This thought .reminded me of the day I spent with my daughter and her two year old daughter , they say Terrible Twos I think we should change it now with Terrorist Twos. Screams shouts , hair pulling, fingers in the vanishing cream bottle pulled out after deep probing in the drawer, the knob no where to be found…all things out of Grandmas bag..and the cute little lips all smudged with lipstick and now the glasses OH OH there now, there's NANO, AH here is Nano, OH My ID Card ! Deary come now,
EEEEEEEE
NNNOOOOOOOOOOO, GO GO
I started reciting verses to calm my nerves and very quietly I heard my daughter say, "Mom, no recitations or prayers will pull the devil out of her "and I found myself go easy on the nerves and we both burst out laughing.
What about her teeth? That is another story.
