Teeth sensitive to the sand

Teeth sensitive to the sand
in salad greens—
   I'm getting old.

    Teeth

    From guest David (contact)
    It makes you wonder, doesn´t it? We will all get old in the future, and our teeth will be sensitive not only to sand, but to everything! Our little white teeth will no longer be able to run free in the beautiful, exhuberant salad greens ( in other words, chewing will be a real challenge for us grandpas someday [; )
