The Intellectual Centipede
By Dr. H.E.Cock.
A centipede of intellect
Was asked one day if he had checked
Coordination in his stride,
With 50 legs on either side
Which glided smoothly into place
Well synchronised for any pace.
"Please accept," he said, "the notion,
The less one thinks, the better motion."
You have , I know you will agree,
A parallel in dentistry -
That dentures worn without a thought
Are just about the best that's bought.
And confidence so early gained
Could be because they're well retained.
ARE YOUR TEETH GIVING YOU A HEADACHE?
This is a poem written by a lady from Nottingham, England who had a bit of trouble with her dentures.
This is the tale of Marney J
Who found she'd worn her teeth away
Just little stumps and nothing more
Rattling round inside her jaw.
Round to the dentist, banging on his door
"Quick, give me some teeth to fill me jaw!"
"Hold on there," said the kindly man,
"First of all we'll make a plan."
"We'll take an impression and then a bite -
You'll soon have some teeth so big and white!"
Then came the big day when the teeth were ready.
"Oh me. Oh my! I feel quite unsteady,"
Her little old teeth chattered and trembled.
"Come now, the new ones are ready assembled."
Marn opened wide - he put in the plate -
Oh deary me - feels like cargo freight!
He pushed them up till they wouldn't come down
Felt like they'd gone right through her crown!
"Get them out!; she sputtered. "I can't wear them.
I'd like my little stumps back in again!"
"Persevere," was all he said.
And so poor man went home to bed.
Monday came with gums red and sore.
Back to the dentist and kicked in his door.
"Calm down Mrs J, don't put up a fight.
With a bit off the left and a bit off the right
Your mouth will be soon as good as new
With bright, white gnashers for you to chew."
One night she found she'd had enough -
"I'm sick of putting on that stuff."
With teeth in hand she crept downstairs.
"I'll just go do my own repairs!"
She filed them here. She filed them there.
Our Marney filed them everywhere.
Next day she faced life with a smile.
"I've done my pearlies with a file!"
"What a week I've had ," she'd say,
"I wish I never wore my teeth away!"
Unfortunately this is the experience of some people. However, we do our very best to make sure that this will not be your experience!
