Unvaccinated
I haven’t seen the dentist
Since pre-Covid days, although
I’m finally feeling ready and
I called to tell him so.
I questioned the receptionist
If he’d received his shot.
Her answer, most evasive,
Let me know that he had not.
I told her, “Have him call me,”
Which he did and when he called,
He said he needed no vaccine,
Which had me quite appalled.
Since he had beaten Covid,
He has antibodies now.
His hygienist does as well;
To that he’d take a vow.
I thanked him for his time but
After seeing him for years,
I’ve found somebody new
Who’s vaccinated, it appears.
We all must do as we must do
So we feel safe and sound
And on this issue what I know
Is I must stand my ground.
