Temporary Crowns

Today is the day after, so to speak, and I'm wearing temporary crowns. On my teeth, because, you know, the crown on my head just won't come off. 

They're plastic, these temporaries, and they feel weird. They feel like those lead weights that you put on car wheels to balance them. You know what I mean? The ones that taste like metal?

Oh, for Heaven's sake. These things: Lead weight

It feels exactly like one those things are sitting inside my mouth. I know you know what I mean, that odd taste and feeling.

What's that? How do I know about the taste and feel?

Oh, would you lookit the time? I gotta get to work.
