Toothache

A little boy comes up to me And said mister your tooth hurt So I said yes just little He had black hair wore an avengers shirt His mother said leave the man alone But he didn’t hear a word she say He was the main attractions Here In the dentist office today He went by a Trinidadian lady Who offered him a candy? He shook his head nooooo And said that give you cavity Then he was back to me again Mister you have very long hair And he did not hear his mother As she told him come over there So mister if your tooth hurts Will they give you a new one? His mother said is he bothering you I said oh no he’s just having fun It’s silly how I end up here today Guess I was too greedy last night My stomach full but not my eyes Just had to have another bite. But who can blame a guy For enjoying a well done steak I know it was greedy of me But I’m only human gimme a break I know it’s not broken But you may think it’s dumb I think a bone from the steak Might have hurt my gum So now I am here for hours Still in a lot of pain But the time is going fast As this boy has us entertained
