My secret love is my electric toothbrush. Vibrating, churning, it gives me a rush. With the touch of a button, we’re on our way – Woman and machine fighting tooth decay. In hygienic excitement, robust and true, We dislodge plaque and bacterial smoo. We thwart gum disease, rub out overnight moss. I’m thrilled when my dentist says, “Who needs floss?” Minty toothpaste applied, we polish my smile, Leaving foam in our wake, drips on the tile. A rinse, all is smooth, the brush back in its holder Recharging. I turn, wink over my shoulder.
