Sidney Beck Poet Ode

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.

Written  for Nancy Jones’  Contest   “A Toothful Ode”
