What do you think of this bit of prose?

Beautiful Smile A quick trip back to her country for Urgent and extensive dental work still Cost her far less where she hails from; Even with added airfare. What an enlightening difference in my own Country's health care costs. Able to lodge with family Her return to those old roots For bridges, multiple root canals Allowed time to visit old haunts, Take some nice little jaunts through Familiar sceneries, visit with family Even gain a little weight, get a tan. Family back home neatly stacked up The bills and newspapers, batched it; Most lost weight as they waited For the return of their beloved Home cooked meals. She returned with savings five times over And a perfectly beautiful smile.

Interesting pen, great last line, and your words ring true. Romanian family live near by me, this could be her story.
