My teeth are what you see above
But teeth all have an underneath
Like icebergs, hidden, out of sight
Supporting, or destroying teeth
I hate to have a gaping hole
It makes a hole inside my soul
A nightmare, like a piece of coal
Waiting for fire, to give me grief
The dentist like a fearsome devil
With drills and bills, wholly evil
But I hope I can find a saint
To seal my teeth with sealant paint
To end my woes, in a short while
Either bring tears, or a big smile
And send me home with dancing shoes
Rest like mangy fox in calm snooze
Hygienists booked April til October
Can't even give me a look over
Fearing appointments will be missed
I settle for the waiting list
A new hygienist I could choose
To end my anxious eating blues
Like a glass of wine, beer or booze -
I hope my dentist gives good news.
