Dear Dentist

by Gregory R Schelske

Dear Sir –

I thought the better
of sending you this letter
as you might imagine why -

It seems my concern
as you soon will learn
requires an urgent reply –

I paid a visit
or two, now is it
and gave you a mighty sum –

and yet my mouth
is not the same somehow
and I'm feeling rather dumb –

I can be forgetful
but this has made me fitful
and my patience is wearing thin –

My good sense of taste
has been proven a waste
without my trademark grin –

For you see dear sir
my speech is a slur
and the result really bites –

When I was last seen
I asked you to clean,
not remove my pearly whites.

Omigosh! It took me years to conquer my fear of dentists...hmmmm, I hope you haven't brought it back (no never!) with your wonderful rhyme of dentist horrors! This gave me a laugh, and a gentle reminder to call a dentist for a checkup.

terrifying! But fun read -- I'll have to come back for some more reading later -- I dig your style in what I've read so far, clever :)
