Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

No Dentist To Thrive

O, may the day soon arrive
  when no dentist will thrive
The sound of their drill
  a mere swallow of a pill

Fine careers may disappear
  and dental schools fold
So, hold your applause
  'til your dentist's too old

Rico Leffanta December 1, 2021 at 11:00 AM Reminds me of the USAF dentist who drilled three of my teeth sans Novocain (which he sold on the blackmarket) before discovering he had the wrong file (someone named Munch) . . . Gershon Wolf December 1, 2021 at 5:43 PM I guess you can't make that kind of stuff up, Rico. ~ Crunch

L Milton Hankins December 1, 2021 at 9:22 AM God knows they thrive pretty well, especially when they see me! He charges me an arm and a leg to cause me misery! Gershon Wolf December 1, 2021 at 5:43 PM Isn't it mind-boggling how much we pay to suffer at the hands of dentists' and doctors?!... And they call it 'Medical Care!'

Caren Krutsinger November 30, 2021 at 8:56 PM This made me cringe "The sound of their drill" - I wish all teeth and gums were healthy and we did not need any dentists. Thanks for the reminder. Gershon Wolf November 30, 2021 at 9:21 PM I love my dentist! -- mostly in absentia.

Valsa George November 30, 2021 at 8:49 PM I am reminded of a scary day with my dentist... ! The sound of his drill still vibrates in my ears... Researches are in progress that the tribe of dentists with their crude instuments will cease! Gershon, have you been to a dentist recently? Ha... ha ! Gershon Wolf November 30, 2021 at 9:21 PM Ha, ha! I have to go quite frequently. Drill ye terriers, drill!
