She showed me things I’d never seen
like ‘life’ and ‘love’ and Listerine
The life we shared she took away
(although I’ve no more tooth decay)
The love I gave she threw right back
(but now I’m clear of dental plaque)

I’ll try to overcome my loss
(and now will always dental floss)
The life and love I’ll always treasure
now my breath is so much fresher
Cos what I thank her for the most is
Curing me halitosis
