Dental Poetry
November 26th, 2008 . by Joyce
This is my first limerick written in response to the prompt given at Mad Kane’s Humor Blog. Please play along, if you are so inclined!
The dentist will tell you to floss
But why listen? He’s not your boss.
If you don’t mind decay
You can have it your way;
Your wallet and mouth bear the loss.
Here is my haiku, written to the same prompt:
Maligned profession:
The doctor of dentistry
Sees nervous patients.
I enjoyed your verse! Thanks so much for joining in on my latest prompt!
Your limerick is most apropos since I spent a couple of hours this afternoon at the dentist getting my temporary crown replaced with a permanent one. I have the best dentist ever, but he’s a bit of a perfectionist too … and he took FOREVER to be sure the crown fit perfectly!!! Then he replaced one final filling so I’m set for a while ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
