I went to the dentist <br />for the first time in twenty years. <br />Sat in the waiting room <br />waiting to get my call. <br />Finally, it came <br />and I reluctantly went in, <br />hand shaking and nervous as can be <br />and was surprised to find <br />the dentist looked <br />like she had just walked out of the centrefold <br />of a Playboy magazine. <br />She was blonde <br />and dropp dead gorgeous. <br />Instead of a man looking like, <br />he had just walked out of a rugby scrum. <br />Trust little old me to gets this beauty. <br />I sat in the chair <br />took out my false teeth <br />knowing she wouldn’t want to see them <br />and opened my mouth wider <br />so she could have a peek inside. <br />“I’m going to have to take an X-ray at those.” <br />“No problem.” I replied. <br />After the X-rays were taken, <br />she asked me what pills I was on. <br />“The one you put in your shoe to make you go limp.” <br />I replied jokingly. <br />Sadly she didn’t get the joke I’m afraid. <br />However, because of the pills, I was on <br />and the way the tooth <br />was embedded in my gum. <br />I have to go to the hospital <br />to have the darn thing out. <br />Just my luck. <br />Here I get the prettiest dentist <br />to fool around with my teeth <br />and she then refers me to the hospital. <br />Doesn’t that just take the cake. <br />Just my luck. <br />There is a small consolation when I go. <br />They will knock me out <br />and I won’t see who is pulling out my teeth. <br /> <br />25 April 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-my-luck-fun-poem-73/
