Jan, this is cute. I'm wondering if the donkey is a stand in for a certain democrat who was not able to think clearly. BTW, I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. It's routine, but I will be thinking of the poem and image you have for sure while in the chair. You have a great sense of humor!!

Good one Jan, I had a tiger tooth puller once, I felt him take my tooth out, the injection hadn’t had time to work, I had a hunch it was time for his lunch… Beryl

OUCH Beryl, we had one who was more like a lion than a tiger and gave me dental phobia for years:-( hugs jan xx

Hi Jan, superb dental poem. I hate even going for a check up, lol! My son-in-law needs to go back to the dentist, and it's going to be quite a challenge to get him to realize the wisdom in taking the step to go. Have a delightful Saturday. xox

I can sympathise as I used to have terrible phobia of going to the dentist and also for blood tests but i am now alba to go to both without any issue! hugs Jan xx

I would never think of a tiger as a pain reliever, especially one named Keith. Great limerick, my friend.

Lol Mark and look no mention of poop too lol:- Keith was a name I've used in other dental poems in my book as it rhymes so nicely with teeth lol :-) hugs Jan xx
