The Dentist's Visit

The patient was an old lady whose teeth were worn and brown with stain.
She was losing weight and clearly, eating was causing her pain.
The decision was that her teeth were bad. Something had to be done.
So a specialist visiting dentist was called (in the bush there was only one)

We explained the situation to her and suggested the result would be good.
But the poor old girl didn’t like dentists and didn’t behave as she should.
But we were worried that she would fade away and that we did not wish.
We were also worried about her breath that smelt like rotting fish.

So the dentist came and an injection followed to keep the old girl quiet.
We thought that without it she well could have caused a riot.
Eventually she relaxed enough, for the dentist to examine her choppers.
A couple were broken, two were gone and three were great big whoppers.

The dentist explained that over the years the top teeth had filled the gaps.
It was too late to correct the fault so he decided to grind off the overlaps.
Now, I don’t know if you have ever seen an old lady who doesn’t like drills.
But this gentle lady made noises from hell and threatened to run for the hills.

The dentist produced some further sedation and watched the old lady cool down.
Eventually, she agreed to the job being done and the dentist went to town.
He ground and he scrubbed and cleaned out the scale that caused the stubborn stain
And then he ground away some more and scrubbed and cleaned again.

Throughout the whole time the lady had a look of disapproval,
Made even worse when the dentist said “I’ll just do a quick removal”
When it all was over and the old lady could speak, a grunt was all that was said.
But at least, Angie the donkey, at last has some working teeth in her head.

Duke.
