My Dentist Sends a Note
“Unhappy with your crooked smile?”
My dentist sends a note.
I’m sure it isn’t fueled by bile.
He’s not the sort to gloat,
So maybe it’s a friendly sign?
He just wants me to see
his interests are the same as mine:
a sparkling, honest me.
One’s Inner Polonius
This above all…. I’ve said all this before.
Or have I? Even I think I’m a bore.
