Robert Burns poem about toothache

Even the legendary scottish poet Robert Burns suffered with the dreaded toothache, here is a famous poem chronicling his own particular suffering.

My curse upon your venom'd stang,
That shoots my tortur'd gooms alang,
An' thro' my lug gies monie a twang,
Wh' gnawing vengeance,
Tearing my nerves wi' bitter pang,
Like racking engines!

When fevers burn, or ague freezes,
Rheumatics gnaw, or colic squeezes,
Our neebors sympathize to ease us
Wi' pitying moan;
But thee! - thou hell o' a' diseases,
They mock our groan!

A' down my beard the slavers trickle,
I throw the wee stools o'er the mickle,
While round the fire the giglets keckle
To see me loup,
An' raving mad, I wish a heckle
Were i' their doup!

Of a' the numerous human dools
Ill-hairsts, daft bargains, cutty stools,
Or worthy frien's laid i' the mools,
Sad sight to see!
The tricks o' knaves, or fash o' fools
Thou bear'st the gree!

Where'er that place be priests ca' Hell,
Where a' the tones o' misery yell,
An' ranked plagues their numbers tell
In dreadfu' raw,
Thou, Toothache, surely bear'st the bell
Amang them a'!

O thou grim, mischief-making chiel,
That gars the notes o' discord squeal,
Till daft humankind aft dance a reel
In gore a shoe-thick,
Gie a' the faes o' Scotland's weal
A townmond's toothache!

This post reminds me of a dentist-seofriend. He is a great advocate of oral care. He actually teaches the young kids the basics of proper brushing, flossing and all the basics. He even routes for small towns to pass on the torch of his advocacy to village leaders. He's a great guy and a great living inspiration.
His works are still unwavering and can be seen on his personal dental website, marketingnot his works but his dreams for all the people. Yes, it may sound simple, but looking through it on a different scope - he's advocacy subjects to bigger change.

Wow, I never knew he wrote a poem about toothache. :) Well, this proves that even a legendary poet suffers from toothache, just like a normal person. Hehe. He is very expressive with his words, and you can feel the discomfort brought upon by a toothache.
