Anticipating a Root Canal Tomorrow
Sometimes you don’t need anesthetics to be goofy - Anticipating a trip to the dentist will do To confuse today’s plans into nothingness And scatter all focus from a favorite book
People have such dentistry every day You tell yourself, only your self is not listening Should I go to bed early, or get up late What will it be like in The Chair tomorrow?
A sigh, a whisper, a desperate wheeze – Just a little more nitrous oxide, please!
