A DAY IN THE LIFE I GUESS

Yesterday was a big nasty. I needed, really needed, to go to the dentist and get an old worn out back tooth pulled.

Still full of mind-blowing pain-killing and legal substances I walked home trying to smoke a fag through one side of my mouth. Every now and then I needed to stop to spit out the damned blood. Fag in hand spitting blood walking through the town.

Many people looked at me, stared even.
But I was high enough not to care.
Puff puff gobb gobb wobble wobble home.

Now, today, I feel guilty.
I ought to have had a bottle of beer in my other hand because that would have given the crowd something to tell their kids.

Zola.
Are you now a toothless tiger?

Well Needle Street if you ever thought that I was a kind of tiger I am sorry for you.
You would never have survived my grandmother (bless her toothless ways towards assisted agreements).

I stayed up late to watch the Old Toothless Tiger getting his teeth pulled.
You were not alone.

I sense a certain lack of sympathy in the above comments. Hope you are feeling better now. Don't feel guilty - a most useless emotion - and cheer yourself up with something stronger than beer.

The blogosphere needs you, with or without teeth.

btw, I'm sure I have already posted - somewhere - the story of the hellfire preacher admonishing his congregation that unless they repented their sins there would be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Little old lady in the front row pipes up "But I haven't got any teeth".

Preacher: "Make no mistake, Madam - TEETH WILL BE PROVIDED!"

Are cilices provided too? I asked my mate Ruth for one, on loan, but, with her having lots of time on her hands lately, she's getting through them like nobody's business. Ad majorem dei gloriam.

Merkin said...

My Son, cilices are always on loan.
What's more the cilice leaves the hands free from the neccesssary provision of ecstasy and better able to fill in the John Lewis List.
Amen.

Thankyou Father. You are very kind. Is there anything I can do for you in return? But be warned: as well as great tonsils, and an unbroken angelic voice-box, I have all my teeth. (I know of a kindly man North London way, who has been advertised on strange adult websites recently, by his agent, with the USP that he doesn't have all his teeth. And there's a man in Scandinavia too, who, having lost teeth recently, could maybe help you out too. But I gather he'll need a shower first.)
