This is an ode to toothpaste

So toothpaste is my analogy to

The medication I take

Because it’s an unnatural tool

To which others can relate

You were not born with toothpaste stuck

To the enamel in your mouth

I was not born with the proper luck

For my spirits to not go south

I take my meds, you brush your teeth

We both amend a mistake

For nature did not think to bequeath

That which we both need to take
