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.
