A Trip To the Dentist

I went to the dentist today,
And the fee that I had to pay,
For one little tooth,
Was highly uncouth.
It's highway robbery, I say!

Makes you want to pull a pair of pliers out of the drawer and do the deed yourself...It would be less painful than paying the fee...Hilarious! - Tim

Sometime's life is like pulling teeth. Until there's none left to bequeath. When that day comes I'll have my say. Because that dentist won't get no pay.
