Billy the Penguin Adds Insult To Injury

Billy the penguin went to the dentist because he didn't take care of his teeth, All brown and yellow like a fungal growth on your feet! Billy was always snappy and chatty, he loved to interrupt, Now he felt punished after years of making the tooth fairy bankrupt. Inside the waiting room the tick tock of the clock got louder and louder, Each passing second was a pitiful reminder that Billy was going to face a life without gnashers And oh how he loved his mother's rashers. He sobbed. The dentist called his name. With each mortal footstep an imprint of shame and pain ohhhhh Billy had no one else to blame.

What a clever story Jim and I adore penguins so the title pulled me in especially as I went to the dentist yesterday so I can feel for poor Billy but he should be called silly Billy for not looking after his teeth:-)
