Always Tell the Tooth In Court
ALWAYS TELL THE TOOTH IN COURT
Queen’s dentist did a filling in her crown
Monarch paid him with one poetic ode
And then quickly left London town
Dentist didn’t like this payment mode
Dentist and patient in court over bills
Judge said let him pay who wills
Lisping judge said he wanted the tooth
Whole tooth and nothing but the tooth
Dentist said she reaped what she sowed
According to the dentists’ payment code.
Judge awarded dentist an extra ode
To clear up the royal mess on what was owed.
