What All Dentists Do

What All Dentists Do

Writing poetry is like a lot of therapy
Looking for equivalence and parity
Matching things together so you can see
Best way things should eventually be

Do you know what all dentists do?
Make sure your teeth are not askew
Always strong and straight as can be
Not looking like face had a lobotomy

Last time I had looked in my lunch
A card in it had a crooked punch
Opened mouth so dentist could see underneath
You've been taking amazing care of your teeth 

At various times have been having a vigil
Worrying about affects which are residual
Should it be I who is always blamed?
Because my gums have become inflamed

While on long walk looked for a eulogy
And another weird thought came to me
If my teeth are crooked and out of line
Are they really actually mine all mine

Who in the world would have thought of something like this. It must be none other than Jim Horn.
