The Dentist Visit

 

The nice lady said, please have a seat

Just swing around and put up your feet

Lay yourself back on the headrest

Our service will be but the best

 

Wear these dark glasses, so you don’t chill

At the size of our tooth grinding drill

Best you grasp tight, each arm rest

This procedure could be quite a test

 

Open wide now, please let me look in

My elbows just need to, rest on your chin

Then as she looked down deep into my head

Her blue eyes turned to a frightening red

 

Two fangs appeared, so shocking the gleam

The drilling was muted by my wild screams

Something unfortunate took place in my jeans

As I struggled away from this dentists’ extremes

 

A ghoul grabbed me, they were a team

The dentist thing had been but a scheme

Their slashing fangs were the last I’d have seen

Had I not awoken from that bad drilling dream

You are such an awesome writer, I'm starting to get that Pavlov reaction (slobbering) whenever I come to a poem by you in my reading library. Being wild about a snappy rhyming poem myself, your style is deeply satisfying to me. But more than that, your imagination, sense of humor, & outlandishness really appeal to my warped sense of fun. This is a delicious little macabre nibble & I love the way you start out all stiff & formal like real dentist chair rituals . . . then gradually transforming into a freaky scene (((HUGS))) fondly, Margie

Any time I can get a Barleygirl OK, it makes those hours, days and months of sweating over each poetic offering, all that more satisfying.

Don't know; there is no contact information for him that I can see on the site. If you can get that, I will get in touch with him.

Hahah being a dentist myself, I can't help but laugh still! This is hilarious :D everyone's worst nightmare indeed but really, we're poor souls too, ya know ;) We do imagine the patient sprouting fangs at the risk of a treatment going wrong lol
Glad it was a dream though. :p Cool piece of writing, my friend. I love your humorous pieces :)

[john l smith]

Thanks for visit Dr. YumnaKay
Truth is, I love having my teeth drilled and can't wait to visit my dentist

[Dr. YumnaKay]

:p then you're probably the first. I used to hate the drill as a kid, but it's my weapon of sorts now ;)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

And oh, you're welcome, of course :)

[Chris Shaw]

You have managed to set my teeth on edge. Never much of a fan of dental visits. I must admit I thought it was going to be the nice lady that copped for the full horrors, not the poor dentist.Thank goodness you woke before your manhood was slashed to pieces. Every man's nightmare.

Of course it is all fictional. I can't imagine anyone being upset at a dental visit
Have a jolly day!

[Wild Rose]

Dont think I will go again after reading this > even though she does keep saying sorry

[john l smith]

Haha
I guess the secret is to keep brushing
Thanks for visit

[Wild Rose]

No she is quite a nice Polish lady
"How are you? Did you have a nice holiday ? Your teeth are quite alright this time - See you in six months"

[john l smith]

Are you leaving writerscafe for 6 months

[Wild Rose]

No just the dentists
We do sometimes go away for up to three months

[john l smith]

Ah so!!.......

[Samuel Dickens]

Oh, nooooo! Going to the dentist was already scary enough, and now this! A real shop of horrors. Do they also have man eating plants, too? Suddenly, I need to brush my teeth.

[john l smith]

I don't think those plants are prejudice enough to not also eat women

[angel]

I think he's referring to the Great Purple People Eater(purpura populus comedenti).

[john l smith]

Ah so!!
that sounds like fodder for an Angel version halloween story/poem

[angel]

Could happen.
