Appointment with fear!

 

It's that dreaded time of year

Appointment with fear at nine

Receptionist knows I'm worried

she remembers the drama last time! 

I'm dragged kicking and screaming

into the cold clinical dentists den

from that deathly waiting room 

Why the hell am I here again?

 

I stand there ghostly white

I pause, I think he knows I'm scared

I sink into the reclining seat

it's more like the electric chair!

I'm gritting my teeth

but he says open wide

I've got a range of apparatus

I want to stick inside!

 

He says now try to relax

but tears are streaming from my eyes

I try to act all hard and cool

but he can see through my disguise

he lunges at my gums

now he starts to scale

I'm trying not to choke

but it's all to no avail!

 

I'm starting to gag

this isn't very nice

I don't know which is worst

the pain or the bloody price!

He digs and he pokes

says I will need a hygenist

the state my teeth are in

I'll need a bloody pianist!

 

I look at his assistant

She's very sexy and kind

I have dirty pervy thoughts

to keep things off my mind!

I grip the arms of the chair

I'm trembling like a clover

I just can't bloody wait

till the whole ordeal is over!

 

Finally he removes the scaffolding

thank God it's come to an end

after paying for the privilege

I'll have bugger all to spend

he says now have a good rinse

with the pink stuff in that cup

I'm afraid you'll have to come back Jeffarama!

That was just the check-up!!!
