" OXYMORON " FROM MY ROOF GARDEN, MY PHOTO, ©

My lady dentist hasn't much to say She works from dawn to dusk each single day Teeth she drills causing much pain Avoids though my clothes to stain When the job is done she asks me to pay!* © Demetrios Trifiatis 21 July 2018 10-10-7-7-10 Yesterday, I visited my dentist, a great lady, when all was over I told her: "There is an oxymoron here: To pay for something pleasant is expected but to pay for something that causes so much pain...?" she found my remark funny, so I wrote this Limerick which she liked! Haha!

Hello Demetrios, Well-Done here my good friend -- and well-understood too under the circumstances. At least you have a dentist with a "sense of humor." Best Wishes, Gary

DT.. that's what I was thinking. And it seems the more pain the more pay. I'm sure this is Trump's fault too ;)

We do not have Mr Trump as president here but we have got too many other problems! Thank you for your visit dear, Lyric!

But which caused the most pain the drilling or the cost ? lol. Hope they are ok now. Tom

The drilling I can afford the cost...? In this case the cost is reasonable! Thank you my friend, Tom! The point though here is the oxymoron: Pay for pain!
