A Welcome Reception

A Welcome Reception or Receptionist and a Poetry Recital Take care of dolls and put them on display And a story each one will have to say About the time there was such a hush Because their teeth they forgot to brush. They were all afraid to smile anymore Gums were starting to get mighty sore And soon a cavity appeared in each tooth Not unusual but unfair and very uncouth. Receptionist such a sweet smiling was wearing For her teeth religiously is always caring You should have a smile that looks like mine She said after her and my eyes would entwine. Could hardly breathe when I saw her teeth Brushed all around, on and gums underneath Then a tremendous thought to me occurs; God, make my teeth look as good as hers. I can see my dentist's receptionist smiling and laughing and eyes twinkling right now as she reads this. Will be seeing them next Tuesday but forgot what time. Oh, and is the coffee water warm yet? When do you want to hear my dental poetry recital? Jim Horn
