Dear Robert
Today I have visited a dentist for the first time and it wasn't a pleasant 'first meeting' at all. It was dreadful.
I had to get fillings on my teeth and it was really scary. I had to face the injections and the drilling too. That was the most excruciating part. All this happened because, throughout my childhood, I just hogged sweets, candies and what not, very recklessly. I never really gave much effort to maintain my oral health and today came the judgement day.
I hope you never did the same foolishness I did. Hope you take care of yourself and your teeth well!
Yours lovingly
Pam Ayres

A. The poet ate a lot of toffees, sweet sticky food, gobstoppers, liquorice, sherbet dabs and other sweet foods carelessly without properly maintaining her teeth. She never gave the same amount of effort to brush her teeth.
Q. Explain: "When I had more tooth there than fillin' ".
A. The poet regrets not having taken care of her teeth when she was devoid of so many dental problems and did not have so much of filling in her teeth.
