The Dentist

"DENTIST" I called to make an appointment, it was for a deep cleaning. "Friday at 8AM please," I said. "Alright, Friday at 8 it is." Friday came and soon I found myself in the chair of doom. "Alright Eddie, ready for your cleaning?" I put my earphones in and laid myself back. the cleaning was a success. "All done, luckily you caught this gum disease in time. now we can keep watch every three months instead of six. you'll have your teeth until you are old and gray." the dentist smiled and walked me to the exit. it was in that moment, I realized I paid $500 to prolong the proper timing of my teeth falling out. I guess I can't complain too much, I got a free toothbrush. By: Chicano Eddie 8-10-2016
