There is great exaggeration in comparing the mouth to a section of a road that is being repaired. Some other instances of exaggeration in the poem are:

  • Your jaw digging into your chest. 
  • Your fingernails are making serious alterations in your life line, love line or some other important line in your palm. 
  • There isn’t a nerve in your head that you aren’t being irked on. 
  • Your teeth are supposed to be polished but they are demolished. The dentist is a bear. 
  • He takes his crowbar in one hand and mirror in the other. 
  • He then coats your mouth from cellar to roof with something generally used to put a shine on a horse’s hoof.
