Mad Kane's Humor Blog

In times like these...stock market going wild, people scurrying around with question marks on their faces...well you can't be serious every minute, or your body will explode with ulcers. I stumbled upon this site once where a retired lawyer invites people to write limericks and haiku. Today her topic was : Dentists, so I slogged out a verse reminding me of a particular dental disaster I endured about three years ago, when a dentist pulled out a tooth without ex-raying first and ended up fracturing my jaw and creating a hole through to my sinus cavity. Needless to say, I switched dentists, but on cold days my face still hurts from the trauma. Anyway, what do you do? Laugh about it. Here is my limerick... and the haiku.

At first I considered my cavity
A disaster of no special gravity
But the dentist—Forsooth--
Wrenched out the whole tooth.
In an instant of mental depravity


“Million dollar smile!”
“Puts money where your mouth is”
Disproportionate.

Those were a lot of fun. I'm so glad you participated in my dental poetry prompt!

Oh ... and I'm not a retired judge --- just a recovering lawyer. :)

Thanks again!

I'd rather have a cavity than a gap - only because dentists terrify me.
Golden grins do cost a pretty penny.

I remember how much pain you were in at the time, so I'm glad you can laugh about it now.

Very well done. :)
I agree that we can't be serious all the time!
