Blue Dentist

Sometimes he has to give himself a hit of nitrous 
oxide, when the most exciting thing in his 
day is when a second set of incisors 
appears behind the first set, 
but then he can only refer 
the patient's parents to 
the orthodontist, who 
makes real money,
although the
referral fee
helps.

Still he can’t help wondering if 
implants could have helped 
Chet Baker’s embouchure.
