A Visit To The Dentist Poem by Audrey Heller

Strange, when we have to see the
dentist, automatically we're filled
with fear. We could think of better
places to be, then ending up, right
here. There are various reasons
for this hysteria, I can name a few.
Take the needle for example, that's
enough to put a scare, into you.
Then there's the thought of your
gums being frozen, while your lips,
start to get numb. It's not a good
feeling, nor is it easy, to overcome.
At the moment you can't feel anything.
The probe enters your mouth,
accompanied by the noisiest drill. I
can't get used to it and I'm certain, I
never will. Finally, the ordeal is over.
You're happy to get out of the chair.
You'll have to return in two more
weeks and once again, you'll face
despair!
