An exercise in
haikus, to explain dental
visit yesterday.
(Oh please do enjoy,
I just can't do prose today
so haikus must do.)
*****
Dear Dentist (sadist)
Why is it so cold in here?
Need to pay for heat
You popped off my crown
And drilled into my tooth roots
Oh I hate dentists
Wedge between my teeth
All in the name of torture
Making my jaw hurt
My mouth fills with spit
Can’t swallow, have to gurgle
Can I go home now?
The drilling is done
But too much time has gone by
Second trip to come
My face numb, I leave
I’m shaking and shivering
From nerves and the cold
I get home to J
The driveway all clear, snowblown
Want kiss, can’t pucker
Dear Dentist (sadist)
Do you hate going to see
Your own dentist too?
Less noise, more me

I like your haikus, weirdo. :)
Sorry you had to go in the first place, but I'm glad you survived.
I've wondered about the same thing re: how dentists feel about going to their dentists!
