THREE WORD WEDNESDAY
We are asked to use the three words in blue.
TOOTHACHE
Of the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to
It seems to me that toothache is the worst.
The pain can sear right through one like a blow-torch
And make one feel that one is truly cursed.
And if misfortune leads one to a dentist
Who is just a callow novice, nothing more,
The agony will no doubt be compounded!
*
I'm just warning you of what may be in store!

TOMORROW
'Tomorrow is another day'; I think that's rather trite.
After all day always follows day, with an intervening night.
Scarlett O'Hara coined the phrase, when surrounded by her trouble;
When everything in life had gone, and all she saw was rubble.
She squared her shoulders, raised her head, and looked up to the skies,
Determined to make a go of things, although she'd been unwise.
There's a tone of optimism in her voice, a hint of future schemes;
We sense she'll go on to succeed and realise all her dreams.
But it can work the other way. After all, if you're the tops,
Tomorrow may disappoint you with a litany of flops!
It's no good flaunting yourself around and thinking you're the best,
When tomorrow may come and shock you because nobody's impressed.
Be prepared for disappointment and then you can really say
With absolute sincerity
'Tomorrow's another day'.
