FluorineJanet Kuypersfrom the “Periodic Table of Poetry” series started 5/22/12, but written and completed 6/29/12
Just got a postcard from my dentist Maybe I should just gargle with water more.
But fluoride is just one of the ionic compounds
Kind of like water, I suppose,
But you know, it’s not just teeth
Wow, I didn’t realize
But the thing is,
So too much of Flourine
Maybe I won’t start to gargle with water
