Pain does return,
I cannot spurn,
Insidious pain,
O' curs'ed bane.

I feared pain not,
But I forgot,
Such agony,
"blank" cavity.

To tooth beseech,
Would use a leach,
To lift your curse,
Pain can't be worse.

To dentist go,
Tell tale of woe,
Sharp needle first,
Now which hurts worst?

X-rays taken,
Drill's a shakin'
Tooth's done capped,
With bill, I'm tapped.

I head away,
Hear dentist say,
Advice from me,
To stay pain free.

A gift to use,
To rid pain's blues,
To me does toss,
Transcendental floss.

A follow-up to the very nearly legendary "Bane of Pain"

LOL....wonderful. I'm going to call you Bill from now on...for this is surely something William Shakespeare would have written. You've done a marvelous job with this!

This is not a laughing matter...but your bane has got me insane and the floss
I'm at a loss, to come across
with a reply ...poor baby!

You must feel better, else how would you have written such a clever poem?
