I started to float,

Megalodon tooth with a fossil Otodus obliquus tooth (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

then tingle,

then heavy as a rock,

I woke up and found

I couldn’t talk.

My mouth was filled with gauze.

My head was numb and dizzy.

I walked like a drunken man;

the pharmacist was too busy.

Finally pills the size

of my teeth they pulled

I had to take,

but trying to swallow

was a big mistake.

Liquid meals were all

I could look forward to,

numb and in pain,

All I did was drool.

Ice cream and ice,

yogurt and applesauce,

watching movies while skipping school

were the only plus.
