A wave of pain
I rode a wave of pain one night
It came upon me quick
Gripped me with relentless spite
Made me feel quite sick
I came ashore with hips and teeth
In agony most vile
Some Ibuprofen gave relief
But only for a while
I telephoned a tired GP
Queued an hour no less
Then called a dental surgery
No longer NHS
The outcome was a waiting-list
Of two years maybe more
A Bupa orthodontist
Who left my coffers poor
And an on repeat prescription
For pills three times a day
To ease the pain infliction
And keep the wave at bay
