Concerning toothache - the positives
Looking on the bright side, with a view to improved ratings, the good thing about toothache is that its really very good when it stops.
Toothache does affect mood.
With toothache, for instance, you can find yourself only marginally pleased when you win £40 million on the lottery:
'How will that go with today's prices?' you wonder.
And with toothache, on receiving your heart's desire in toto, with extras, you can muster only slight feelings of irritation at the delay.
'Fat lot of good it is now!'
But when the pain is finally dealt with, and the throb in your mouth relieved, why? -
You skip through the rain!
You laugh at your faulty plumbing!
You celebrate your dodgy knee!
You dance with the traffic warden!
You smile through the abuse!
You barely notice the latest rejection!
Your money worries melt like gorgeous hot butter!
You smile when woken in the middle of the night by the neighbours awful music! Bless them! Bless them all!
And anything anybody asks you is just fine!
...and all because your mouth is at peace, peace at last! Which is the great thing about toothache.
Its so good when it ends.
Just like this blog...
