humming along with a lisp

this happened
back in the day
when a dentist had
a set of pliers and
a bottle of whiskey.

had the front
ones yanked
good riddance
it ached
and infected
tasted blood for
over a week.

had a hell
of a smile
after that
wrecked my
embouchure
for a stretch
my only
instrument
was
pussy.

it was okay
at first she
didn t want any
toothless man
down there.

she let me suck
her tit s
they tasted
like warm beer.

after awhile
she either got
used to looking
at my smile
or missed the
feeling.

either or
doesn t matter.

was back
where
i wanted
to be

hummin
right
along
with a
lisp.
