Teeth Tales – a Song For My Dentist

I feel sorry for my dentist

No-one likes him but his wife

No-one's ever pleased to see him

He has a lonely life.

 

If I need a tooth appointment

I try to put it off

I make up something urgent

Like the cat has got a cough.

 

If I see him in the High Street

I shut my mouth and lurk

He may see my teeth are wonky

And my molars need some work.

 

He's like the traffic wardens

We want them to go away

I guess there is a difference -

He's consoled with stellar pay.

 

He has two little children

Called Dennis and Natasha

Who both have perfect pearlies

And a scruffy dog called Gnasher.

Our very first entry I believe - well done Gloskat, and thank you so much for the donation too.

As this challenge will have a mystery judge deciding on gold, silver etc places, we won't be awarding any cherries at this point, but all entries will get one at the end.

Thank you Claudine.  

Thought I would make up some twaddle to get the ball rolling.  Although, seriously, it has occurred to me that there are some jobs, eg dentist and traffic warden, where the people you interact with professionally are never pleased to see you...

That is very true!

Just changed the last verse cos I'm a fan of Dennis the Menace, and what else would a dentist's dog be called ?

Hello GlosKat for getting posting up the first toothy tale.

And, I do hope no dentists will suffer from toothache.

Thanks again and kind regards
