At the dentist’s

I say a silent prayer

and brace myself

The dentist pick the drill

and peers into my mouth

He shakes his head

and reminds me ominously

this is the last root canal

that can be done

and if I continue indulging in

a variety of sugary treats

I would soon be bidding goodbye

to all my teeth

in my humble opinion

the dentist frightens me too much

and soon enough there will be
an enamel guard

to put all dentists out of practice!
