Advice

The hygienist had advice
That covered more than flossing;
She tossed it out, just like
A shuttlecock that she was tossing.

To get through life you must take care
Of what is fundamental –
Consisting of the physical,
The mental and the dental.

I chuckled ‘cause it seemed absurd
But after some reflection,
I think that her advice could steer
One in the right direction.

If we all paid attention
To our bodies and our teeth,
Perhaps our minds could free the angst
Our brains love to bequeath.

When guidance comes unprompted
Often I can be judgmental;
But there is wisdom in advice
That seems so elemental.

To live successfully, you have to
Nurture every part –
The brain, the teeth, the arms and legs,
The skin, the hair, the heart.

Ignoring any one of them
Might turn out detrimental;
So take the time to nourish
Body, brain and all things dental!

  1. sounds like you've been given advice
    with a wholistic bent,
    of course the most basic kind
    that's getting such good press,
    is that of nutrition,
    which affects mind/body/dental.
    our bodies, if we look one way,
    are less owned and more a rental.
    avoid chemicals, additives, GMOs and such,
    the best of course is organic,
    keep it pure, like when we were kids,
    and your body'll never panic!
