Should have ordered a salad Had lunch with a dentist from York Who everyone thought was a dork It was his belief All things must have teeth As he tried eating soup with a fork

Thanks so very much Alexis, glad you got a chuckle out of this. And yes, steer clear of that dentist, you'll recognize him. He's the one with soup stains on his tie. :)
