Ooh That Hurt

I’m feeling great, I’m fine and dandy
So I treat myself to a sticky candy
I pop it in my mouth, start to suck
all of a sudden my filling comes unstuck!

It’s then I learn the sorry truth -
there’s a gaping hole in my tooth
I ring the dental reception nurse 
their schedule’s full, oh what a curse!

They can fit me in Tuesday at two thirty -
a very apt time as my tooth’s hurty!
With mouth wide open I lie in the chair
treatment starts, I wish I wasn’t there!

My dentist gets busy with the buzzing drill
when it’s finally over, I must pay their bill
Any more thoughts of candy I must avert 
the filling was painless; it’s the bill that hurt!

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 8/19/2018 5:17:00 AM Both hurt me...did Carolyn inspire this or did your experience? I really hate going to the dentist as I am sure everyone does.

Arthur Vaso Date: 8/18/2018 2:26:00 AM This poem sucks! LOL well in a good way, loved the humor, and we all know the evils of the dentists. They enjoy their jobs too much!!! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/20/2018 1:20:00 PM ha ha ha somehow I think not at least in a poem title Tim, I know my cock-up in a title was frowned on lol:-) hugs jan xx Tim Smith Date: 8/19/2018 9:33:00 AM Now that we can say suck let's try f..k Jan Allison Date: 8/19/2018 5:55:00 AM Woohooo suck is no longer banned lol:-) hugs Jan xx

CayCay Jennings Date: 8/17/2018 7:31:00 PM This is excellent and I relate to every sentiment! Applause from me, Jan. I once bite one of those large, hard pretzels and after swallowing I realized I was missing a tooth. How uncool that was! I've done the filling thing, too. A joy reading this. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/19/2018 5:55:00 AM I guess many of us have done that CayCay:-( hugs Jan xx

Chris Green Date: 8/17/2018 2:42:00 PM Yep, that is usually the way it goes. I can definitely relate to this one and doesn't it always seem that the tooth ache comes on a Friday a few minutes after the dentist is gone for the weekend. Sheesh. Very funny Jan Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/17/2018 5:49:00 PM I just have a filling that needs replacing and am seeing my dentist on Tuesday, when i say the contest prompts I had to write this one:-) hugs jan xx

Charlie Smith Date: 8/17/2018 2:27:00 PM Just broke one yesterday. Hate to pay to get it fixed. Don't know if I'll live long enough to get my moneys worth. Good one Jan... Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/17/2018 2:39:00 PM I'm going on Tuesday - new dentist so I hope it is painfree apart from the bill lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Old Buck Date: 8/17/2018 2:25:00 PM Jan: Another "jolly" winner. We need to laugh about the treatment and the bill. Both seem to be inevitable. :o) Keep them coming. And thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/17/2018 2:39:00 PM I've got to have a filling replaced next week so it was an easy idea for the ooh that hurts theme:-) lovely to see you again Oldbuck :-) hugs Jan xx

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 8/17/2018 12:18:00 PM Oh, do be careful with that sticky candy. I've had similar experiences, though you expressed yours with wonderful wit. Good luck at your dentist's office on Monday and best wishes in the contest too. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/17/2018 12:22:00 PM thanks Carolyn I'll keep my fingers crossed my new dentist is good!!!:-) hugs Jan xx

Charles Messina Date: 8/17/2018 11:25:00 AM Love this, Jan. Yes, that bill can become quite painful lol Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/17/2018 12:03:00 PM Yes it sure can be as bad as the treatment itself:-( hugs jan xx

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 8/17/2018 8:33:00 AM Love it! I don't think pussy is banned, but suck? Really? That really does suck ;p I guess I'll go sit in the corner and mouth my thumb, if that's allowed. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/17/2018 12:04:00 PM I try and make folks smile with my silly poems, there isn't enough laughter in the world:-) hugs Jan xx Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 8/17/2018 10:55:00 AM True dat; I doubt I would be alive today if I couldn't laugh at it all ;) Jan Allison Date: 8/17/2018 10:38:00 AM lol Mo, at least we can laugh at things, some folk take this all too seriously:-) hugs Jan xx Tim Smith Date: 8/17/2018 9:25:00 AM Lol

Lin Lane Date: 8/17/2018 7:42:00 AM For years some of us have reported to TPS, poems that used very vulgar language and we were ignored because days later those writes were still on site. Now they're asking that they be reported? What kind of monitoring system allows such nastiness? It's been my opinion for quite some time that TPS and PS both suck. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/17/2018 7:48:00 AM I had to smile at your comment Lin!!! the filter system sucks, it depends on the context which the word is used - we can't write about a cat and use the word pussy - grrrr. I appreciate there are words used with sexual connotations but it is going a bit far when there is no innuendo in the poem:-( hugs Jan xx

Tim Smith Date: 8/17/2018 6:58:00 AM Let me suck on these words for awhile...great poem Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 8/18/2018 2:28:00 AM LOL the question is, does your ex........... ok ok I gonna stop here before the censors get me!!! LOL hilarious comments!! Jan Allison Date: 8/17/2018 10:37:00 AM ha ha ha:-) hugs Jan xx Tim Smith Date: 8/17/2018 9:24:00 AM I suck at many things ...just ask my ex wife lol Jan Allison Date: 8/17/2018 7:45:00 AM LOL Thanks Jerry:-) the whole filter system - it sucks! hugs jan xx Jerry T Curtis Date: 8/17/2018 7:44:00 AM So let me get this straight --- "you may suck On something, but not At something" I hope Mr Viv likes it to Jan. lol Jan Allison Date: 8/17/2018 7:01:00 AM lol Tim, you can use suck in a comment but not in a poem, surely its the context of the word that should matter and there is nothing rude about sucking a candy! I hope Mr Viv likes the poem!:-) hugs jan xx
