Ouch' that hurt

August 2007

As I sit in this Chair trembling with fear

Trying not to let it get as far as a tear

“How did you do this” my dentist said to me

It was a caramel choc said I with my cup of tea

“Well I dunno’, it might have to come out

I’ll try and save it, here’s the injection, don’t shout”

Trying not to tremble, I feel the needle’s in

Now I can’t even feel me lips or the end of me chin

I hear the noise of the drill but I feel no pain

I shan’t eat those chocs in a hurry again

Be brave now is running through my mind

Whilst he checks to see what else he can find

Well a clean and polish then that will do for today

That will be £120 pounds please I hear him say

“Are you having a laugh, have you filled it with gold

No it’s my new prices else this practise will be sold”

“It’s the rising costs and with the taxes I have to pay

I am sorry to charge but my rent is due today

And if I don’t cough up, you will lose your dentist too

So pay up and smile, else you’ll have something else to chew”

So I force a grin and pay up, seems I have no choice

Bang goes my Friday night out shouts my inner voice

That’ll teach me not to buy any chocs or sweets again

Else I will be saying Ouch’ that hurt, am I going insane
