Well, Here-S Another Nice Mess You-Ve Gotten Me Into
Suffering with a toothache
Started on the weekend
Appointment on Monday
See the Dentist at ten
This was no wimpy ache
A “King Kong” of a hurt
I kept on popping pills
Still pain would not avert
By that Monday morning
Pain spreading through my chin
At the end of my rope
Somehow this pain must end
We were at the building
A little before nine
We arrived there early
Hoping to save some time
Office on the third floor
I said, “Let’s take the stairs”
“No”, said my lovely wife,
“Elevator’s right there”
Push button number three
We started going up
Got between two and three
When it stopped abrupt
I pushed the HELP button
Then we heard someone say
“Maintenance has been called
So help is on its way”
“I’m in pain, need relief
Just how long might it be?”
“Takes them an hour or two
At worst it could be three”
“Should’ve gone up the stairs
But I listened to you”
"WELL",
“Here’s another fine mess
You’ve gotten me into”
