Always buy a new type of toothpaste
I read that somewhere
Or heard it from some family member
Anyway it's a compulsion
Gone awry.

Lavoris?
My Dad said he didn't know they still made that.
There were allegations that it was for dentures
Fortified with mouthwash?
I didn't even know they did that.

This new variety says
Mint Flavor powered by baking soda.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize that baking soda was for teeth.
To me the name implies food,
And doesn't tooth paste wash away food?

Anyway that toothpaste tastes like salt.

Now there's a toothpaste straight out of 1983.
