The Lyrics

Yet another Public Service parody in my "Dental Hygiene" series...

You'll hear some howls coming from me
they're howls from receding gums
Well, they tend to ruin all my eating joy
now all I do is gum

My dentist spoke with candor
He told me I should floss
Yes, he said that if I didn't
It could cause me tooth loss

Now the only stuff that I can eat
Is soup and ground-up mush
I can't eat anything that I must bite
Just stuff that is like slush

~ ~ Dental drill solo ~ ~

It bothers me, a grown man
What I did was very dumb
I failed to take good care of all my teeth
Eating Applesauce makes me glum

Well, I got fitted for some false teeth
But they do not fit too well
Now I must sit in that dentist's chair
To me it is like Hell

So now you hear my tortured screams
caused by receding gums
They're so easily irritated; they annoy
Hope novocaine will numb

Writing parodies about various ailments and miseries serves as a sort of "Mental Floss" for me...at least my brain isn't rotting away...(well, I hope it isn't, anyway...). ~ ~ ~ And of course SOME of this is exaggerated...a bit (or a bite?)...Thanks!!

the dentist should post your songs in his office to scare people...5s

alvin, what was really weird was that when I got home from work last night I had a message from the dentist on my answering machine. I'm wondering if I mentioned the site to him in passing and he saw my postings or if it was just some really odd coincidence. Hey, Stu, there was no harm done, but that 12/07 post at 1:36 am was NOT from me...I was safely & snuggly snoozing at that time...

I know, Paul, I did think twice, but then I took a punt on you not minding the gag - I take your point tho :-)

No problem...but thanks for clearing it up, I was wondering...
