in this funny house 
smiles reflect by a clear pool 
white gowns run the maze 
extracting caries for cash
drilling down to build up crowns

Just saw your note to me on dental visits. I have had some doozies. One time it inspired me to write Mouth of Misery. I don't even know if I ever posted it here. I should look and see

Cool. Thanks, Andrea! The saga isn't over. I have a follow-up next week. I'm hoping it goes well.
