Poem
A Dream Trip to the Dentist By Elton Camp In the reception room you need not stay. It would be so wrong to cause you delay. We take patients only one in an hour So to keep on time is within our power To us, “appointment” is not just a word To waste your time is something absurd If ever we don’t take you in on time For our work, you don’t owe a dime. We accept what dental policy will pay So then you owe nothing else, no way We think to do that is only fair It’s so scary sitting in that chair We have not seen any good yet To come from building up debt And if short on money you happen to be We will gladly provide our services free Come on back and have a seat Our kind hygienist can’t be beat So open up your mouth so wide Let her please take a look inside Amazed at what we now see Everything is fine as can be Teeth are sparking clean Finest we have ever seen Not a bit surprised to say Not a sign of tooth decay Gums are healthy and pink From the teeth do not shrink Teeth are so pearly white It’s quite an amazing sight Chip that had been there for years Now is growing back, it appears And for goodness sake No need an X-ray to take But find it would be best Brush and floss a bit less For you it will be dandy Go ahead and eat candy It’s fine on ice to chew Return in a year or two A firm hand gives my shoulder a shake Wife now says, “Time for you to awake. But, what accounts for that big smile? Your dentist appointment is in a while.”
