     I had a very bad, aweful, toothache. I wanted it out, now, for Heaven's sake. I went to see my Dentist...Gigglemush. With his finger to his lips, he said,"Shush This will hurt me much more than it will you; because I have to do what dentists' do." I shook my head; and I just laughed and laughed, "Doctor, just let me be completely gassed." "That would be quite nice; but I say, alas, I'm on empty.I don't have any gas." Now, this was the very most shocking news. No gas, no giggles.I just had the blues. He said, "Daisy dear, open your mouth wide. I want to have a look at what's inside. What is this?A tiny, dancing, brown bear juggling a whole bushel bag of pears, a Crocodile with a crookedy smile... little Jerry Moon inside with a file. A knockedy-kneed runt of an old gnome singing such silly words, 'Home, again, home.' while pithy little elves quite gamely dance waving and waving their passports to France, a gooey upside down pineapple cake with no pineapples.What a rotten fake! Here is a pirate picking out your plaque to plaster it inside the mouth of Zack. Whew!!!Whatever is that terrible smell? By gosh, that fish has been dead for a spell." Then it started, just a tiny jiggle. Then it became a loud, louder giggle. I felt a mighty tug; and then a pop. I shouted, "No, no, please don't let it stop. That bad tooth is out.Can't you pull anymore? That gas you were out of would be a bore. This is far better.This is much more fun. Please, do not tell me that we are all done." Dentist Gigglemush straightened out his bill "I hope you will include me in your will." All rights reserved, © Ivy Rose A little explanation...this was written for a challenge on another poetry site.We were to use the poetry of Shel Silverstein as an example.It's hard to outshine Shel Silverstein; and I'm sure this poem pales in comparison.But I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it!!!! |
