Shining implements of torture
Laid out neatly on the tray
Into the chair I am beckoned
Where I then settle and lay
A needle so sharp โ doesn't hurt at all
And the numbness descends like a protective wall
Then pliers are grasped and scalpels are gripped
And the offending object
from my jaw ripped
Sutures and blood and spit and gore
A couple of days when my mouth is sore
Are better than toothache
Which at your soul gnaws
We'll put in some new ones
The dentist he says
As long as you have
The means for to pay
It won't be expensive
He jokingly said
It 'll only cost you
An arm and a leg
The dentists coffers
I needed to fill
But the insurance was worth it
'Cos they pay the bill
