Relax, I only just want to drill a little,
And this silver tube will remove the spittle,
Then your mouth will feel nice and dry,
Ready for me to quickly try,
To tackle your damaged top side molar,
Yes, I will inject it, to make it a ‘polar
Region’, nice and frozen, so you won’t feel
A thing. Now there’s no need to even squeal
When I mend your tooth, which you have broken.
Gosh! What a scream, you must have woken
Everyone within a radius of a mile,
Now don’t you go and start to pile
On the agony, which isn’t there,
I’ve only a few minutes to spare,
My other appointments are due, but I’m willing,
To sort out your tooth by doing a filling,
Which is only using my drill and a bit of paste,
Now what is this, what’s all the haste,
You can’t just leave with the job not done,
You don’t just jump up and start to run.
Your yelling has caused total chaos, in fact
The consequence is, it has had such an impact,
It’s cleared my ‘waiting room’, the patients have left,
And it has really left me all bereft,
Your filling has made me lose my cool,
Which is totally against the rule.
So if when next time your tooth you crack,
DON’T COME BACK!!!!!!!!!
