Mouthurty

You know: it should be against the law
For things to come and hurt your jaw!
And any doctor who says otherwise is quacking,
Or just wants to keep you from yakking.

After all, it would be a bore,
If everybody's jaw suddenly got sore.
And, man, how far would you have to walk
Just to find someone who could talk?

I hope that your pain is overcome,
As though you do like to talk, I don't like you overdumb.
While other husbands would praising their gods with a flute,
I know I couldn't stand to have a wife, mute.

So, I really hope that whatever it is
Gets gone soon, so that I can kiss
My wife, and also so she can grace me with words,
And not just whistle and click like a flock of birds.
