Gat-Toothed

The dental world is amazed

At the wonders of the teeth,

And the greatest among the wondered

Is the life of the human beings

With a magical gap

Between their two front teeth!

Their dental potentials are fair enough

To build the next national highway,

And the construction takes place

With utmost ease,

Without much bulldozing.

Their labiodentals are half pronounced

And there's a whistling tempest moving out

When they struggle to destroy the fricatives.

A linguist's nightmare!

They are hardly trusted by fellow citizens

Who find refuge behind the city walls,

For these beings have the widest gates

To admit an entire army of enemies.

When they binge on a piece of watermelon

Or taste a sandwich with a stylish bite,

You could see that miracle,

That pointed curve of universal wonder,

In the middle of their dental seal

On those bitten bodies.

When they breathe in with a smile,

Posing for a lethargic camera

There's an inward-narrowed airflow of coolness,

That's more than enough

To bring down the monsoon rains,

And refresh their lives.

The great mint effect!

But these gat-toothed aristocrats

Are cherished by their own kinsman,

For it is believed in the oriental caves of mystery

That long-lasting wealth flows in

Through these valleys of abundance.

Not just a dental wonder,

Or the family's treasure,

But a rare species of the Kingdom Animalia

That doesn't forget to smile

With its ever-widening treasure;

The front teeth with a magical gap within.
