Ouch
Went to my dentist and...ouch!He didn't live up to his pain-free vouch
If willing to give up my tooth
He at least should have told me the truth
Sat in his chair already succumbed
Expecting to be completely all numbed
A needle jab here, a needle jab there
He pricked me so much, I was ready for bear
All bravado, my Academy Award act
'Cause I felt real scared, and that's a true fact
I latched on to the nurse, a lovely young lady
When the dentist surmised something was shady
He jabbed me some more, more than needed
I let go of the nurse, as he overly needled
He paid me back for my being uncouth
The nurse disappeared faster than my old tooth
A few days have passed and I'm still full of aches
Making that nurse disappear-a stupid mistake
Didn't know what I did, so filled with dread
I should have latched on to the dentist instead
