"I Will Not Numb You"

 

“I will not numb you”

But next thing I knew

The needle was in

I couldn’t feel my chin!

 

A pinch of pain

Where’s the Novocain?

Drilling of my tooth

Robs me of my youth

 

Celent is glued on

Dreaming of a swan

What is happening?

Feel another sting

 

Another shot in

Think I need some gin

That really hurt

She says, “No more dessert.”

 

Candy ruins teeth

It pries underneath

Enamel will be gone

I think my dentist won
