A Visit to the Dentist

I was writing this in my head to distract myself from the drilling...

It felt like it went on for hours
The noise and the smell and the spray
It really was just a few minutes
I went to the dentist today

She told me about all the problems
With my gums and my teeth and my filling
That really was past its sell-by date
It needed a fresh lot of drilling

I then had a mouthful of putty
She told me I needed a crown
All of this poking and prodding
Really was getting me down

And then when it all was finished
The very worst bit of the day
I went to arrange my next visit
They told me how much I must pay!
