Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Dental Appointment

I can’t avoid the dentist
Though I really wish I could
‘Cause once I’m in that chair I know
He’s up to nothing good.

Of course, it’s for my benefit
But man, it’s so unpleasant
That being told I didn’t have to go
Would be a present.

The poking and the prodding,
The drill with all its noise
Add up to what I’m sure that
Really nobody enjoys.

I even hate that object
Placed to suck up all the drool.
He calls it “Mr. Thirsty”
But that doesn’t make it cool.

The only plus that I can see
Is, when my visit’s done,
At least 6 months will pass before
There’ll be another one.

Robert Johnson July 30, 2016 at 11:28 AM In the midst of getting a crown. He used this vibrating device when shooting the Novocaine in that really took alot of the anguish away. Sometimes new tech is a good thing. Keep smiling. :)

Maurice Rigoler July 29, 2016 at 8:53 PM Excellent and I am pretty sure we cal all relate to your work! My dentist has a drill that is almost soundless, and to add to my comfort he plays classical music for background. Now you can't beat that. Pleasure to read. /M
