The Dentist

© 2002 by Bud Lemire

Do you have an ache, in your teeth somewhere

These are the people, who can help you there

They take pride in their care, and do really great work

And will find all your pains, wherever they lurk

Never been to a Dentist since my childhood, so I should know

But I went to see them, I gave it a go

It wasn't them I was afraid of, but the fear deep inside

The terrible aches in my teeth, many times I had cried

Being free of that pain, is a wonderful thing

Why cry at the moon, when it's better to sing

So, come on in, and let them get rid of your ache

They photograph each tooth, and know which ones to take

They're like carpenters inside your mouth, with the tools that they use

And they know what instruments, that they want to choose

They numb your mouth, so you don't feel the pain

Deleting all the feelings, just under your brain

Whatever you're going for, whatever it can be

These are the people, that you've got to see

If your life is being controlled, by a really bad toothache

Then get rid of it now, with the appointment you make

They've gotten much better with changes, over the years

And to think, I was so afraid, with my childhood fears

Sometimes those fears never leave. But they have come

a long ways. Many of them make sure they numb your

mouth good before starting. After all, they have to have

a good reputation so more people come back to them.
