Frederick the Rogue Dentist

A rogue dentist called Frederick McCrouth 
Brought misery to many a ones mouth
Caused his patients great pain
Done for profit and gain
Eventually their teeth all fell south.

Frederick's nickname was' dentist from hell'
Gold implants at a high price he would sell
He was caught in a trap
Is now up on a rap 
Justice caught him and he's now in a cell.
